Split the vanilla pod in half lengthways and scrape out the seeds. Crush half of the amaretto biscuits

Pour a shot of alcohol into the bottom of each glass and stir in the seeds from the vanilla pod. Cover with a cinnamon wafer to allow everything else to sit above it

Just prior to serving, pour hot espresso to taste over the knickerbocker glories and top with cinnamon wafers, split vanilla pods, coffee beans and star anise, or as you prefer
