cajun coffee
Cajun Coffee
This is an old Cajun recipe.
3 cups strong black coffee
1/4 cup molasses
1 cup cream, whipped
Dash of nutmeg
Rum (optional)
Mix coffee and molasses and heat to a low simmer. Stir to blend. Divide mixture between 4 cups or heat-proof glasses. Top with cream and a dash of nutmeg. The idea is to sip the coffee mixture through the cream, much like Irish coffee. Some Cajuns like to mix a tablespoon of rum in with the coffee and molasses.
Yield: serves 4
