02 - Brew fresh, strong coffee. Pour ¾ cup into each of two heatproof glasses or mugs.
03 - Stir 1 teaspoon brown sugar into each glass until completely dissolved.

# Expert Advice:
01 -
- You get all the cozy comfort of an Irish coffee without the alcohol, making it perfect for mornings or anytime you need a little pick-me-up.
- The whipped cream slowly melts into the coffee, creating this incredible transformation from hot and strong to sweet and creamy with every sip.
02 -
- The whipped cream needs to be cold and your coffee needs to be hot, that temperature difference is what makes the cream float instead of mixing in immediately.
- Spoon the cream gently onto the back of a spoon held just above the coffee surface to help it distribute evenly without breaking through.
03 -
- Chill your mixing bowl and whisk in the freezer for ten minutes before whipping the cream for faster, more stable results.
- Make the whipped cream first and keep it covered in the fridge while you brew the coffee so everything comes together at the perfect temperature.
