Description

This Caramel Hazelnut Iced Latte is a rich and refreshing coffee drink combining bold espresso, creamy milk, sweet caramel sauce, and nutty hazelnut syrup. Perfectly chilled over ice and optionally topped with whipped cream and toasted hazelnuts, it delivers a café-quality beverage that’s easy to make at home, ideal for warm mornings or afternoon pick-me-ups.

Ingredients

Coffee Base

  • 2 shots espresso or ½ cup strong brewed coffee, cooled

Flavorings

  • 2 tablespoons hazelnut syrup
  • 1 tablespoon caramel sauce, plus more for drizzling

Other Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Chopped toasted hazelnuts, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brew Coffee: Brew two shots of espresso or prepare ½ cup of strong brewed coffee. Allow it to cool completely before using to ensure the drink stays cold and refreshing.
  2. Prepare Glass: Fill a tall glass with 1 cup of ice cubes to chill the beverage thoroughly.
  3. Add Syrups: Pour 2 tablespoons of hazelnut syrup and 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce into the glass over the ice, setting the base flavor for the latte.
  4. Combine Coffee and Syrups: Pour the cooled espresso or brewed coffee over the hazelnut and caramel mixture. Stir well to blend the flavors evenly.
  5. Add Milk: Pour in 1 cup of your choice of milk—dairy or plant-based—and stir the mixture until fully combined and creamy.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, top the latte with whipped cream. Drizzle further caramel sauce on top and sprinkle with chopped toasted hazelnuts for added texture and flavor. Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect balance of cold, creamy, and sweet notes.

Notes

  • Use cold brew coffee for a smoother, less acidic flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of hazelnut syrup and caramel sauce to suit your preferred level of sweetness.
  • Oat milk provides an especially creamy texture and complements the flavors well.
  • For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and whipped cream alternatives.
