Rich, nutty, and comforting, the hazelnut iced latte has quietly become the go-to for anyone who wants something beyond vanilla but still approachable. It offers warmth and depth without feeling like a heavy dessert.
Why hazelnut is trending
Hazelnut pairs beautifully with iced milk and espresso for a smooth, refreshing sip. It feels premium yet familiar, and it works just as well in summer over ice as it does hot in winter.
Ingredients (1 drink)
- 36–40g espresso (double shot)
- 15ml hazelnut syrup (1 tbsp), or to taste
- 120g ice
- 150ml cold milk (oat or almond work beautifully)
How to make it
- Pull a double shot of espresso.
- Stir the hazelnut syrup into the warm espresso.
- Fill a tall glass with ice and pour the sweetened espresso over it.
- Top with cold milk and stir.
Pro tips
- Oat or almond milk amplifies the nutty "cream" note better than dairy.
- Start with less syrup — hazelnut flavor builds quickly.
- A light dusting of crushed hazelnuts on top adds aroma and crunch.
Key takeaways
- Hazelnut adds warmth and depth without being cloying.
- Plant milks make the nutty notes pop.
- Garnish with real hazelnuts for aroma and texture.
