The Pharisee is a special coffee from Northern Germany.

Recipe

The base is strong coffee with sugar, completed by 4cl of brown rum. The drink is covered by whipped cream.

Name

In the 19th century, there was a pastor on the island of Nordstrand who was a strict teetotaller. He christened a peasant’s child and was afterwards invited by the family. Everyone had a cup of coffee with whipped cream on top, but only the pastor without alcohol. When he realised that the others drank alcohol, he shouted out: “Oh, you Pharisees!”
