Thai Coffee

Serve in a Highball Glass

Ingredients

  • Coffee
    6 tblsp ground
  • Coriander
    1/4 tsp
  • Cardamom
    4-5 whole green
  • Sugar
    To taste
  • Whipping cream
    To taste
  • Ice
    To taste

Instructions

Place the coffee and spices in the filter cone of your coffee maker. Brew coffee as usual, let it cool. In a tall glass, dissolve 1 or 2 teaspoons of sugar in an ounce of the coffee (it's easier to dissolve than if you put it right over ice). Add 5-6 ice cubes and pour coffee to within about 1 inch of the top of the glass. Rest a spoon on top of the coffee and slowly pour whipping cream into the spoon. This will make the cream float on top of the coffee rather than dispersing into it right away.

Glassware Tip

Fill your highball glass with ice before adding ingredients. The tall, narrow shape is designed to keep carbonated mixers fizzy and refreshing throughout the drink.

Mocktail Note

This alcohol-free recipe delivers full flavor without the spirits. Perfect for designated drivers, those avoiding alcohol, or anyone who wants a sophisticated drink any time of day.

Dairy Tip

When using cream or milk, shake vigorously with ice to properly emulsify and chill. Consider using heavy cream for a richer texture that floats beautifully on layered drinks.
