What does an iced hazelnut coffee taste like?
Iced hazelnut coffee is a refreshing beverage made by mixing coffee with Hazelnut Syrup and ice, often topped with milk or cream. The taste of iced hazelnut coffee can vary depending on the recipe, but generally, it has a rich, nutty flavor with a hint of sweetness from the syrup.
It’s even better served poured over Coffee Ice Cubes, which intensify the coffee flavor of the beverage then topped off with Cold Foam.
This simple and sweet icy beverage, just like Vanilla Iced Coffee, is one of the best ways to start your day.
Ingredients Needed
- Coffee – Cold Brew Coffee is particularly well-suited for making iced coffee because it is brewed using cold or room temperature water, resulting in a smoother, less acidic flavor. You can also use room-temperature coffee, don’t use freshly brewed hot coffee because it will melt the ice quickly.
- Ice – When making iced coffee I prefer to use Coffee Ice Cubes. This is because when the ice melts it doesn’t dilute the flavor by adding water and instead melts into chilled coffee.
- Cream – When making iced hazelnut coffee at home, there are several options for adding milk, cream, or a dairy-free alternative. You can also add a splash of flavored creamer. Some to try are vanilla or caramel, to enhance the sweetness of the beverage.
- Hazelnut Syrup – Hazelnut Syrup is an essential ingredient when making iced hazelnut coffee. It provides the characteristic nutty flavor and sweetness that defines this popular coffee drink.
