Notes
Use freshly brewed, strong coffee for the best flavour base. Ensure the coffee is hot enough to dissolve the sugar and warm the liqueurs without being scalding, which could curdle the cream topping. Gently stir the sugar into the coffee first to ensure it fully dissolves before adding the spirits. For a more decadent finish, make fresh whipped cream with a touch of vanilla and a hint of the brown sugar.
