Directions
Step 1
Prepare 2 shots of espresso using an espresso machine or a stovetop moka pot. Set aside to keep warm.

In a small saucepan, heat the whole milk on medium heat until it is steaming but not boiling, about 3–4 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.

Step 4
Pour the hot espresso into your favorite mug.
Step 5
Stir in the coffee liqueur and granulated sugar until both are fully dissolved.
Step 6
Gently pour the frothed milk over the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon if desired, and finish by spooning the foam on top.
Step 7
Sprinkle a dash of cocoa powder or some chocolate shavings over the foam for a beautiful garnish.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your After Hours Cappuccino.
