Hazelnut Latte

Description

A Hazelnut Latte is a coffee drink made with espresso, steamed milk, and hazelnut flavoring, often a syrup. It’s a popular variation of the classic caffè latte. The hazelnut flavor adds a nutty, slightly sweet, and sometimes chocolatey note to the drink.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
Base:
Like a regular latte, the Hazelnut Latte starts with a base of espresso.
Milk:
Steamed milk is added, creating a creamy texture and mellowing the espresso’s intensity.
Flavoring:
Hazelnut syrup or extract is used to impart the characteristic nutty flavor.
Optional Toppings:
Some cafes may add whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate syrup, while others may top it with chopped hazelnuts for added texture.
Taste:
The overall taste is a balance of the rich, slightly sweet, and earthy notes of hazelnut with the creamy, mild espresso and steamed milk.
