Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the chestnut topping for your latte. Take about 2-3 roasted chestnuts and finely mince them. The smaller the pieces, the better they’ll integrate with each sip.
Step 2
Next, gently warm the milk for the latte base. Place 200ml of milk in a microwave-safe container and heat in 30-second intervals, 3 to 4 times, until warm (around 60-70°C or 140-160°F). Avoid overheating; you want it pleasantly warm, not scalding.
Step 3
Now, let’s create the latte base! In a blender, combine the entire pouch of roasted chestnuts (60g), the warmed milk (200ml), and the honey (3 Tbsp or 40g). Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Ensure all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated for the best texture.
Step 4
Pour the blended chestnut latte mixture into your serving cup. Fill it about two-thirds full, leaving enough space for the milk foam.
Step 5
Time to make that luscious milk foam! In a milk frother (or using a French press or whisk), combine the cold milk (150ml) and hazelnut syrup (10ml). Froth until you achieve a light, airy, and voluminous foam. If using a French press, pump the plunger vigorously. If using a whisk, whisk rapidly. Let it sit for a moment to stabilize if needed.
Step 6
Gently spoon or pour the freshly frothed milk foam over the warm chestnut latte in the cup. Tilt the cup slightly as you pour to create a beautiful layer of foam.
Step 7
Finally, sprinkle the reserved minced roasted chestnuts over the top of the milk foam as a garnish. Your delicious and cozy Honey Chestnut Latte is now complete! Enjoy this perfect autumnal treat.
