I first stumbled upon this recipe during a lazy Sunday morning when all I wanted was something warm and soothing.

After a bit of experimenting, I discovered that using homemade hazelnut syrup gives it a rich, nutty flavor that's just divine.

Ingredients & Substitutions

If you don't have hazelnut syrup on hand, blending some roasted hazelnuts with a bit of maple syrup and water works wonders. And if you're watching your sugar, just use your favorite sugar alternative – I've done it with monk fruit sweetener, and it was lovely.

Tips & Notes

•I heat my almond milk gently in a small saucepan before frothing it to get that extra creamy texture.
•If you prefer a stronger hazelnut kick, add an extra teaspoon of the syrup.
•I like to sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top for a little extra warmth.

Recipe Variations

•When I'm in the mood for something sweeter, I add a splash of vanilla extract.
•My friend Jess swears by using oat milk for an ultra-creamy version.

Storage & Freezing

This latte is best served fresh; however, you can store any leftover brewed coffee in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat and froth the almond milk before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this latte cold?

Yes! Simply chill the almond milk and serve over ice instead of heating it.

What can I use instead of hazelnut syrup?

You can use maple syrup or agave syrup for a different flavor profile.
