Hazelnut Cold Foam Latte

A café favourite with rich roasted hazelnut flavour and silky cold foam

There's something timeless about the combination of coffee and hazelnut. Warm espresso, creamy milk and rich roasted nut notes create a comforting drink that's perfect for cafés, coffee roasters and beverage brands looking to expand their menu.

This recipe uses Universal Flavours Premium Sugar Syrup as the base, with a few drops of Hazelnut Flavour to create a delicious hazelnut syrup. By combining our neutral sugar syrup with concentrated flavour, you can create custom flavoured syrups in-house while controlling flavour intensity and reducing the need to stock multiple syrup varieties.
