# What You'll Need:

# Directions:

02 - Combine hot coffee, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in two heatproof glasses or mugs. Stir thoroughly until sugar dissolves completely.
03 - Gently spoon the whipped cream over each coffee drink, allowing it to float on the surface without sinking.
04 - Sprinkle with ground cinnamon or cocoa powder if desired. Serve immediately while hot.

# Expert advice:

01 -
  • The whipped cream creates the most luxurious floating layer that slowly melts into the coffee
  • You get all the warming comfort without any alcohol making it perfect for any time of day
02 -
  • The whipped cream must be cold and the coffee hot for proper layer separation
  • Spoon the cream slowly over the back of a spoon placed just above the coffee surface
03 -
  • Brew your coffee slightly stronger than usual since the cream will mellow the flavor
  • The whipped cream can be made up to 4 hours ahead and kept refrigerated
