Ingredients:
To make a hazelnut latte, gather the following ingredients:
- Freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee
- Milk (any variety you prefer)
- Hazelnut syrup (You can buy this online by clicking here, at the store or use our homemade recipe by clicking here!)
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Crushed hazelnuts (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions For Making Your Hazelnut Latte:
1. Brew the Espresso or Strong Coffee:
Start by brewing a shot of espresso using an espresso machine or a Moka pot. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can use a French press or any other method to make a strong coffee concentrate. Alternatively, you can also use instant coffee by dissolving it in hot water according to the package instructions. Aim for a strong coffee base to balance the flavors.
2. Steam the Milk:
While the espresso or strong coffee is brewing, heat the milk on the stovetop or using a milk frother. For a latte, you’ll need to steam the milk to achieve a creamy and velvety texture. If you don’t have a milk frother, warm the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it reaches your desired temperature. Be careful not to scorch the milk. Whisk it vigorously or use a handheld frother to create some foam on the surface.
3. Sweeten with Hazelnut Syrup:
In a serving cup, add the desired amount of hazelnut syrup. The quantity will depend on how sweet you prefer your latte. Start with a tablespoon and adjust according to your taste preferences. Hazelnut syrup adds a delightful nutty sweetness to the latte, so don’t hesitate to indulge!
4. Combine the Ingredients:
Pour the freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee into the cup with hazelnut syrup. Stir well to ensure the syrup is thoroughly mixed with the coffee. The hazelnut syrup will infuse the coffee with its rich flavor.
5. Add the Steamed Milk:
Gently pour the steamed milk into the cup, holding back the foam with a spoon. Aim to fill the cup with approximately 2/3 coffee and 1/3 milk, leaving room for the foam. As you pour the milk, aim to create a latte art if desired. Pour the milk slowly and steadily to achieve the perfect balance between coffee and milk.
6. Top Off Your Hazelnut Latte (Optional):
If you desire an extra touch of indulgence, add a dollop of whipped cream on top of the latte. Sprinkle some crushed hazelnuts over the whipped cream to enhance the visual appeal and add a delightful crunch.
7. Enjoy the Nutty Delight:
Grab a spoon and savor the creamy and aromatic hazelnut latte you’ve created. Take in the rich flavors and let the nutty essence of hazelnut envelop your senses. Indulge in every sip and cherish this homemade coffee treat.
Indulging in a homemade hazelnut latte is a treat that brings together the comforting warmth of coffee with the delightful nuttiness of hazelnut syrup. By following these simple steps, you can create a café-quality beverage right in the comfort of your own kitchen. As you savor each sip, the rich aroma and velvety texture of the latte will envelop your senses, providing a moment of pure bliss.
Whether you’re starting your day or seeking a cozy pick-me-up, the hazelnut latte is a delightful twist on a classic favorite. The nutty sweetness of the hazelnut syrup perfectly complements the smoothness of the steamed milk and the robustness of the espresso. Adjust the sweetness and milk-to-coffee ratio to suit your taste, and don’t hesitate to experiment with additional garnishes like whipped cream or crushed hazelnuts.
Embrace the art of hazelnut latte-making and make it a cherished part of your coffee routine. Share this beverage with loved ones or relish it in moments of solitude, allowing the rich flavors to transport you to a state of pure coffee bliss. With a hazelnut latte in hand, you’re ready to face the day ahead with a touch of indulgence and a delicious blend of flavors. Cheers to the perfect harmony of nuttiness and coffee goodness!
