Ingredients
- 2 shots Espresso
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 2 tablespoons Kahlua (coffee liqueur)
- 1 teaspoon Sugar (optional)
- 0.25 cups Whipped cream
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon

Instructions
Prepare two shots of espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it begins to steam (do not boil). Use a milk frother, hand-held whisk, or immersion blender to create a thick and velvety froth.
Divide the prepared espresso evenly into two cappuccino cups or mugs.
Stir 1 tablespoon of Kahlua into each cup. Add sugar if desired, stirring until dissolved.
Pour the steamed milk gently into the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon.
Top each cup with a generous dollop of frothy milk.
Finish with a swirl of whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
Garnish with cocoa powder or chocolate shavings for an extra touch of indulgence.
Serve immediately and enjoy your luxurious Kahlua Cappuccinos!
