A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

Ingredients
1. 5 cups hot black coffee
2. 20ml Tia Maria
3. 30ml white rum
4. 150ml thickened cream, lightly whipped

The obvious reason why Francie Nolan would enjoy Jamaican Coffee is because of her already found love for Black Coffee. In “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn” Francie enjoys the fact that Coffee was one of the only links between the ground-down poor and the “wasteful rich”. By having a cup of coffee every now and then, Francie felt that somehow she had more and she was “richer” because she had something to waste.
