Ingredients

  • 2 cups brewed coffee

  • 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided

  • 1/2 cup instant tapioca

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan combine coffee, 1/2 cup sugar, tapioca, vanilla, and salt. Stir well and let sit for 5 minutes.

  2. Bring mixture to a full boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. You'll know it's ready when the mixture continues bubbling while being stirred. Remove from heat and divide among 4 serving glasses (highball glasses work well). Chill for 2 to 3 hours.

  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer combine heavy cream and one tablespoon of sugar. Using the whisk attachment whip until peaks form. Divide whipped cream among chilled portions.
