Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, turn on your espresso machine and allow it to preheat. A properly heated machine is key to brewing delicious espresso.
Step 2
Insert your chosen capsule into the espresso machine and close the lid securely. Make sure the capsule is seated correctly for optimal brewing.
Step 3
Prepare your serving cup and fill it generously with fresh, cold ice cubes. This ensures your latte stays refreshingly cool for longer.
Step 4
Pour 110ml of chilled milk into the cup with the ice. Using cold milk will enhance the overall flavor profile of your latte.
Step 5
Measure out 15g of hazelnut syrup, the star ingredient for that signature nutty sweetness. Using a measuring cup or scale will help you get the perfect amount.
Step 6
Slowly drizzle the hazelnut syrup over the milk in a circular motion. This gentle pouring technique allows the syrup to naturally meld with the milk, creating beautiful layers.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to brew the espresso. Carefully place the cup containing the syrup and milk underneath the espresso machine’s spout.
Step 8
Using the machine, extract two rich and aromatic shots of espresso. A good crema on top of the espresso is a sign of a well-brewed shot!
Step 9
Gently move the cup with the freshly brewed, hot espresso to your table, ready for the final touch. While delicious as is, a gentle stir will further enhance the flavors.
Step 10
Your delicious homemade hazelnut latte is complete! Take a moment to admire your creation. Enjoy its rich aroma and exquisite taste right away for the best experience.
