# What You’ll Need:

01 - 2 fl oz amaretto liqueur

02 - 2 fl oz coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)

03 - 4 fl oz whole milk

04 - 2 fl oz heavy cream

05 - Whipped cream, optional

06 - Toasted almond flakes, optional

01 - Combine whole milk and heavy cream in a small saucepan. Warm gently over medium-low heat until steaming without boiling.

02 - Add amaretto and coffee liqueur to the warmed dairy, stirring to integrate. Continue heating for 1 to 2 minutes until thoroughly warmed.

03 - Pour the warm blend into two heatproof glasses or mugs.

04 - Optionally, top each serving with whipped cream and sprinkle toasted almond flakes. Serve immediately.

01 -

It's ready in ten minutes but tastes like you fussed over it for hours.
The creamy texture and almond warmth make it feel indulgent without being heavy.
Perfect for serving two people or keeping one for yourself on a quiet night.

02 -

Never let the mixture boil, as the alcohol will evaporate and you'll lose the spirit of the drink entirely.
Warming the cream and liqueurs together rather than adding cold spirits to hot milk makes the flavors marry beautifully instead of tasting separate.

03 -

Warm your serving glasses or mugs under hot running water first, then dry them quickly before pouring, so the drink stays piping hot from first sip to last.
Make the drink in batches if serving more than two people, keeping it warm in a small pot and ladling it into warmed vessels rather than trying to reheat individual drinks.
