Bailey's Irish Cream Coffee

There is this nice place in Dunwoody Atlanta called Cafe Intermezzo, which has been our regular hangout for after dinner coffee. This is where I first tasted coffee with Bailey's Irish cream and loved it. Today I tried a home version of this which came out pretty good.
This could be another way of having bailey's irish cream, particularly on those cold balmy nights .. hmmm...blisss...


Ingredients
Water
Coffee powder
Sugar
Bailey's Irish Cream Liqueur

Method

1)Make black coffee : Boil water. Add coffee powder. Add very little sugar. You can avoid sugar completely if you please, since the bailey's irish cream is sweet in itself.
2)Pour the steaming hot coffee into cups. Now add the liqueur to the coffee. (I used an approximate coffee-liqueur ratio of 5:1. You can adjust according to your preference.
That's it.. A nice warm coffee liqueur is ready. Best served as an after party drink when everyone has finished dinner and are ready to wind off.

You can also add a topping of whipped cream if you like.
