With London transport running on delays (if at all), the sidewalks slippery, and the roads practically impassable, today is the perfect day for skipping work and curling up on the sofa with a good book and a warm Irish coffee. Lovely!
Lately I’ve been trying to make sure that most all of the coffee I buy is Fairtrade certified, meaning that the product meets the international standards set forth by The Fairtrade Foundation. Fairtrade means better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world who grow and harvest coffee beans. Look for the Fairtrade mark on bags of coffee at the supermarket, as well as on goods like sugar, spices, tea and chocolate. Representatives from The Fairtrade Foundation will be on hand at UK Aware to answer any questions you may have about the organization and its benefits.
Ready to make the perfect mug of Irish Coffee? Here’s how:
1 shot of Bailey’s
1 shot of Irish Whiskey
freshly brewed hot Fairtrade coffee
1 tablespoon whipped cream
In a glass, combine Baileys and whiskey. Top up with coffee. Add a dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle some grated chocolate on top. Enjoy!
