Ingredients (Serves 1)

  • 1 shot espresso or ½ cup strong brewed coffee
  • ¾ cup milk of choice (dairy, oat, almond, or cashew)
  • 1–2 tsp hazelnut syrup or ¼–½ tsp hazelnut extract + sweetener of choice
  • Optional: whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, or chopped toasted hazelnuts

Instructions

Step 1: Brew the Coffee

  1. Brew 1 shot of espresso or use ½ cup strong hot coffee (Moka pot or French press works great).

Step 2: Heat and Froth the Milk

  1. In a small saucepan or milk frother, heat the milk until steaming (not boiling).
  2. Add hazelnut syrup or extract and sweetener to the milk while heating.
  3. Froth the milk if desired for a true latte texture.

Step 3: Assemble the Latte

  1. Pour the brewed coffee into your favorite mug.
  2. Slowly add the hazelnut-infused milk, holding back foam if frothing.
  3. Spoon the foam on top and garnish with whipped cream, drizzle, or toasted nuts if desired.

Flavor Variations

🍫 Hazelnut Mocha

🍯 Honey Hazelnut

  • Use honey as sweetener and add a pinch of cinnamon

🧂 Salted Hazelnut Caramel

Pro Tips

  • Hazelnut extract is potent — start with ¼ tsp and adjust to taste
  • Use barista-style oat milk or cashew milk for extra creaminess if dairy-free
  • Want a stronger drink? Use 2 shots of espresso or more concentrated coffee
  • Froth your milk with a handheld frother, blender, or French press for a silky finish
