Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Fill a heatproof stemmed glass or mug with very hot water and leave it for 2-3 min to warm through.

2. 2

   Whisk the cream by hand until it thickens slightly but still pours, about 30-45 seconds. It should not hold peaks.

3. 3

   Tip the water out of the glass.

4. 4

   Add the sugar and pour in the hot coffee, leaving about 2 cm of space at the top. Stir until the sugar has fully dissolved.

5. 5

   Stir in the whiskey.

6. 6

   Hold a spoon upside down just above the surface of the drink and pour the cream slowly over its back, so it settles in a layer on top.

7. 7

   Serve straight away without stirring, and drink the hot coffee through the cold cream.
