Instructions
- Brew a shot of espresso or prepare a strong cup of coffee using your preferred method.
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling. You can also froth the milk using a milk frother for a creamier texture.
- Pour the hot milk into a blender. Add the hazelnut syrup.
- Blend on high speed for about 30 seconds, or until the mixture is frothy and well combined. Be cautious with hot liquids; you may need to remove the center cap from the blender lid to allow steam to escape.
- Pour the brewed espresso or coffee into a large mug.
- Slowly pour the frothy milk mixture over the espresso or coffee, allowing the foam to float on top.
- Top generously with whipped cream and sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately and enjoy while watching the hockey game!
Tips
- For a chocolate twist, add a drizzle of chocolate syrup over the whipped cream.
- Try using flavored whipped cream or dairy-free alternatives for a unique twist.
- If you like it sweeter, feel free to add more hazelnut syrup to taste.
