Author Notes: I just found this recipe in a set of my mom's old Norwegian recipes, and just had to try it. Wow! Aquavit is an intense caraway flavored liquor that we really only break out on Christmas and independence day. It adds a sweet spiciness to the coffee while the cream melts on top creating a frothy creamy layer. (Oh, and Valhalla is the home of the Norse gods, I figured they might drink coffee like this there!) —fiveandspice
