Italian Coffee

Ingredients

  • ½ cup strong coffee

Instructions

  1. Put a jar in the freezer (this is for making the cream topping. If you'd rather use whipped cream, skip this step).

  2. Make a pot of strong coffee.

  3. While the coffee is brewing, make yourself a batch of hot chocolate. We recommend something homemade and creamy, but any hot chocolate will work.

  4. Pour your hot chocolate into the bottom ⅓rd of your mug.

  5. Pour your coffee over the back of a spoon into the mug, filling to ⅔rds full.

  6. Put your heavy cream into the chilled jar and close.

  8. Pour cream over the back of a spoon, filling the mug completely.
