Thai Iced Coffee Recipe

Brew a pot of coffee to a good European strength. Before brewing, stir in 2 or 3 freshly ground cardamom pods with the ground coffee.

Sweeten the hot coffee to your liking, then cool it down quickly. This helps preserve the coffee's character.

To serve, fill a highball glass with ice and pour in the cooled coffee. For the signature layered look, place a spoon just above the coffee surface and slowly pour the cream over the back of the spoon so it floats on top.
