I first stumbled upon this recipe during a lazy Sunday morning when all I wanted was something warm and soothing.
After a bit of experimenting, I discovered that using homemade hazelnut syrup gives it a rich, nutty flavor that's just divine.
It's a recipe that's become a staple for those moments when I want to feel like I'm wrapped in a warm hug.
Plus, knowing it's all plant-based makes me love it even more.

Ingredients & Substitutions
If you don't have hazelnut syrup on hand, blending some roasted hazelnuts with a bit of maple syrup and water works wonders. And if you're watching your sugar, just use your favorite sugar alternative – I've done it with monk fruit sweetener, and it was lovely.
Tips & Notes
- •I heat my almond milk gently in a small saucepan before frothing it to get that extra creamy texture.
- •If you prefer a stronger hazelnut kick, add an extra teaspoon of the syrup.
- •I like to sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top for a little extra warmth.
Recipe Variations
- •When I'm in the mood for something sweeter, I add a splash of vanilla extract.
- •My friend Jess swears by using oat milk for an ultra-creamy version.
Storage & Freezing
This latte is best served fresh; however, you can store any leftover brewed coffee in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat and froth the almond milk before serving.
Frequently Asked Questions
