Ingredients
  

Coffee Base
  • 1 cup strong coffee or espresso Use cold brew or a strongly brewed coffee for the best flavor.
  • 1 handful ice A large handful keeps the drink cold and crisp.
Toppings
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream Whipped until thick but pourable.
  • to taste none sweetener Options include sugar, simple syrup, honey, or condensed milk.
  • optional none cocoa or cinnamon To dust on top for flavor.
  • optional none caramel drizzle For a fancy touch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Brew strong coffee or espresso and let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
  2. Sweeten the coffee while still warm until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
  3. Fill a tall glass with ice.
  4. Pour the cooled coffee over the ice, leaving some space at the top.
  5. Whip the cold heavy cream until it is thick but pourable.
  6. Spoon the whipped cream gently over the coffee to create a thick layer.
  7. Dust with cocoa or cinnamon, or drizzle caramel on top if desired.

Notes

Chill the cream well before whipping, as warm cream will sink. Use enough ice to avoid dilution.
