Irish coffee

Nothing warms you up on a cold evening like an Irish coffee.  The key to this recipe is to use very fresh whipped cream and strong black coffee that is piping hot (since the alcohol will cool it down).

2 capfulls of Jameson Irish Whiskey
1 cup strong, hot coffee
1/2 cup whipped cream (see whipped cream directions below)

Combine the coffee and whiskey in a coffee mug.  Put a large dollop of whipped cream on top.

Whipped cream:
Place one cup of whipped cream in a mixer bowl and mix on high-speed until cream begins to slightly thicken.  Add 1/4 cup powdered sugar and continue to mix on high-speed until stiff peaks form.  Stop the mixer as soon as you see the stiff peaks!
