Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 shot brewed espresso
- 3 cups low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons hazelnut syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the espresso shot using an espresso machine or stove-top espresso maker.
While the espresso is brewing, heat the low-fat milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until it is steaming hot but not boiling. Alternatively, use a milk frother to heat and froth the milk simultaneously.
If using a saucepan, froth the steamed milk using a whisk or an electric milk frother to create a rich layer of foam.
In a large coffee mug, pour the hazelnut syrup and vanilla extract.
Add the brewed espresso to the mug containing the hazelnut syrup mixture and stir well to combine.
Slowly pour the frothed low-fat milk into the mug, holding back the foam with a spoon to gently layer the milk over the espresso.
Spoon the reserved milk foam over the top of the latte.
Optionally, dust with a pinch of cocoa powder for a decorative and flavorful touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade low fat hazelnut latte fresh and warm.
