Irish Coffee and Cappuccino

Ingredients

• 50 ml low‑fat milk
• 7 g espresso powder
• 40 ml water
• 40 ml whiskey
• 1 cup hot coffee
• 2 tsp brown sugar
• 50 g whipping cream

Instructions

1. 1.

   A cappuccino consists of espresso and milk foam.

2. 2.

   If the espresso is too strong, you can also use brewed coffee beans.

3. 3.

   The best way to make the milk foam (from low‑fat milk) is with the steam wand of an espresso machine. Alternatively, use a manual milk frother, a kind of mini whirlpool available in specialty stores.

4. 4.

   Prepare an espresso with about 7–8 grams of espresso powder and 40–65 ml water in an espresso machine or a two‑part espresso pot.

5. 5.

   The espresso tastes best when freshly ground; preheat the cup beforehand.

6. 6.

   Warm the coffee, whiskey, and sugar together, dissolving the sugar. Lightly whip the cream and place it as a cap on top of the coffee.
