Ingredients

Seeds of 1 vanilla pod
2 tbsp Baileys Irish Cream
Freshly made-up coffee
4 measures Irish whiskey
4 tsp dark muscovado sugar

Method

Whip the cream with the sugar, vanilla seeds and Baileys, until thick but not stiff.
Put a metal teaspoon into each serving glass and fill with boiling water. Leave for a few minutes to warm the glasses. Make up the fresh coffee.
Pour away the water and add a measure of Irish whiskey and 1 teaspoon dark muscovado sugar to each glass. Fill just over three-quarters full with the coffee and stir. Spoon the cream over the back of another spoon straight onto the hot coffee to give a thick layer.
