# Expert advice:

01 -
  • It delivers all the comfort of a coffeehouse drink in about ten minutes flat
  • The warming spices and vanilla make ordinary coffee feel like a special occasion treat
02 -
  • Cold cream is non-negotiable for proper whipping, so pop your bowl and whisk in the freezer for five minutes if your kitchen runs warm
  • The whipped cream creates an insulating layer that keeps your coffee hot longer while you slowly sip through it
03 -
  • Grind your spices fresh if possible, the volatile oils in freshly ground nutmeg and cinnamon transform this completely
  • Brew your coffee slightly stronger than usual since the cream dilutes it as you sip through the layers
