Chris S’s Canadian Irish Coffee

My mum makes the best Irish coffees! It is always the drink we have on my first evening at home, when all the family are together.
Ingredients
- 1½ ounces Irish whiskey (I use Jameson)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons maple syrup (or to taste)
- 6 ounces hot freshly brewed coffee (use your favourite roast)
- Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
Step 1
Pour the whiskey and 1 teaspoon maple syrup into a heat-safe mug.
Step 2
Pour in a splash of the coffee and stir with a spoon until the maple syrup dissolves into the coffee.
Step 3
Pour in the rest of the coffee. Taste, and stir in additional maple syrup if you would like a sweeter drink.
Step 4
Top with whipped cream. If your whipped cream is lightly whipped (soft peaks), you may need to pour it slowly over a spoon so it floats on top.
Step 5
Serve while the drink is still warm!
