Ingredients

Hazelnut Syrup

  • 100 g light brown sugar (½ c.)
  • 100 g granulated sugar (½ c.)
  • 225 g water (1 c.)
  • 60 g chopped hazelnuts (½ c.)

Chocolate Hazelnut Shaken Espresso

  • Ice
  • 1 oz. hazelnut syrup*
  • 2 oz. freshly brewed espresso
  • 3 oz. chocolate milk**

Instructions

Hazelnut Syrup

  1. Add both sugras, the water and the hazelnuts to a small saucepan. Set the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it comes to a simmer.
  2. Let the syrup simmer (not boil) for 10 minutes, then remove it from the heat. Let the hazelnuts sit in the syrup for an additional 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse together.
  3. Place a fine mesh sieve over a bowl or container, and pour the syrup through it to remove all the hazelnuts.

Chocolate Hazelnut Shaken Espresso

  1. Start by filling a cup that has a lid, or a container, with ice. Then, pour 1-2 tbsp. (depending on how sweet you'd like the drink) of the syrup of the ice.
  2. Brew your espresso, then pour it over the ice. Close up the cup or container, and vigorously shake it until it's nice and frothy.
  3. Pour the espresso mixture into a cup, adding in more ice as needed.
  4. Top the drink off with your chocolate milk of choice, then stir and enjoy!

Notes

*adjust to taste. 1 oz (2 tbsp.) yields a sweeter drink, so use 1 tbsp. if you'd like it a little less sweet.
**I used chocolate almond milk, but feel free to use your favorite milk!
The syrup recipe yields 8 oz, which is enough for ~8 drinks. You can keep the syrup stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
