Chestnut Hazelnut Praline Latte
Attention all coffee lovers! We're giving you our first latte beverage....a chestnut hazelnut praline latte. It's the holiday season so why not add some extra sugar to the coffee? The latte is flavorful and espresso heavy. Featuring caramelized nuts, steamed milk, and of course whip cream.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Chestnut Syrup
- 1 cup Milk or Milk Alternative heated
- 2 shots Espresso*
- 200 g Granulated Sugar
- 80 g Hazelnuts chopped
- 120 g Chestnuts
- Whip cream or Vegan Alternative optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toast the hazelnuts and chestnuts for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
- In the meantime, cook the granulated sugar until the caramel stage is reached approx. 5 minutes. Stir in the nuts and transfer the praline onto a silicone mat. Allow to cool before chopping or hammering into praline dust.
- In a mug, add in the (2) espresso shots followed by the heated milk (if desired top off the latte with the foamed milk). Stir in the chestnut syrup. Top off the latte with whip cream and praline dusting.
Notes
* If espresso is not readily available. Substitute it with half a cup of strong brewed coffee.
