Time 5m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/4 cup green creme de menthe
1/4 cup Tia Maria or 1/4 cup other coffee liqueur
1 1/2 cups hot & strong coffee
1/4 cup whipping cream

Steps:

  • Divide the 2 liqueurs equally between 2 tall glasses & mix well.
  • Fill ea glass equally w/the hot coffee & top w/whipped cream.
  • COOKS TIP #1: The recipe suggested a garnish using the thin "after dinner style" choc mints cut diagonally & inserted into the whipped cream topping. The pic of same is visually stunning, but simple choc shavings will work equally well for me. :-).
  • COOKS TIP #2: "Use coffee strong enough so as not to taste watery or be too diluted by the liqueurs, but weaker than espresso.".
