Combine and simmer:

– Add powdered sugar and whisk until it forms firm peaks (2-3 mins).In the meantime, whip the heavy cream with the mixer wire attachment at medium-high speed until it forms soft peaks (1 ½ minutes).

Whip the cream:

– Let it rest for 30 seconds, then press.Add the ground coffee to the bottom of the french press, and add the boiling liquid you just strained.

Add the ground coffee:

– Serve right away with a coffee stirrer.Pour the coffee into tall glasses and add brown sugar to taste. Top with a swirl of cream, and sprinkle with cocoa.
