How to Make Spiced Irish Coffee
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or Splenda) with 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Set aside for later.
- In a Dutch oven, combine 1/3 cup granulated sugar (or Splenda), 1 cup whole milk, 2 cinnamon sticks (about 2 inches long), and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Gently stir in 2 cups freshly brewed hot coffee and 1/4 cup heavy cream.
- Cover the Dutch oven and heat for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and carefully strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof pitcher, discarding the cinnamon sticks and nutmeg.
- Stir in 1/2 cup Irish whiskey (or to taste).
- Pour the Spiced Irish Coffee into 8-ounce Irish coffee glasses.
- Top each serving with 1 tablespoon of whipped cream and sprinkle generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture reserved in step 1.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
