    Steps

    1

    Pull a double espresso and sweeten with sugar.

    2

    Whip cream with powdered sugar until very stiff.

    3

    Pour espresso into a glass.

    4

    Float a thick layer of whipped cream on top.

    5

    Drink the coffee through the cream — never stir.

    Pro Tip

    The cream acts as an insulator, keeping the coffee hot. Traditional Viennese etiquette says never to stir it in.
