Okay, let's be real – sometimes, you just need a drink that feels like a warm hug but also gives you that little kick to conquer the day. I get it. Mornings can be rough, especially when your alarm decides to betray you (again!). One of my friend told me about their fun hiking experience in the mountains, then told me about this drink. That's when the Hazelnut Matcha Macchiato came into my life, and believe me, it's been a game-changer. It's not just a drink; it's an experience. Imagine the serene green of matcha swirling with the nutty sweetness of hazelnut, all topped with a cloud of frothy milk. Sounds heavenly, doesn’t it? This macchiato is your ticket to a moment of zen amidst the daily chaos, and guess what? It's surprisingly easy to make!
The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity and adaptability. Don't have hazelnut syrup? No problem! A little bit of almond or vanilla extract can work wonders. Prefer oat milk over regular milk? Go for it! This is your canvas, and you're the artist. I remember one time I accidentally used salted caramel syrup instead of hazelnut (oops!), and it turned out to be an unexpectedly delicious twist. Mistakes can lead to happy accidents, so don't be afraid to experiment and tweak the recipe to suit your taste. After all, the best recipes are the ones that feel like they were made just for you.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Gather Your Supplies: Before you start, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients and equipment ready. This will save you time and prevent any mid-recipe panic. Get out your matcha powder, hazelnut syrup, milk (dairy or non-dairy), hot water, and a frother or whisk.
- Prepare the Matcha Concentrate: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon of matcha powder with 2 tablespoons of hot water until you form a smooth, dark green paste. It is important to eliminate any lumps of the matcha powder so the drink is as smooth as possible.
- Sweeten and Flavor: Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of hazelnut syrup to the matcha paste. The amount of syrup depends on how sweet you like your drinks. I like mine on the less sweet side, so I usually stick with one tablespoon. Stir well to combine the matcha and syrup.
- Layer the Flavors: Pour the matcha-hazelnut mixture into the bottom of a tall glass. If you want a striking layered effect, chill the glass beforehand. The cold surface will help keep the layers separate.
- Froth the Milk: If you have a milk frother, use it to froth about 1 cup of milk until it's light and airy. If you don't have a frother, you can heat the milk in a saucepan and whisk vigorously until it becomes frothy. Alternatively, shake the milk in a tightly sealed jar until it doubles in volume. Microwave for 30-45 seconds will also work for creating the foam.
- Pour the Milk: Gently pour the frothed milk over the matcha-hazelnut mixture in the glass. Try to pour slowly so the milk sits on top of the matcha mixture, creating a beautiful layered effect. A tip: pour the milk over the back of a spoon to better control the flow.
- Garnish (Optional): Sprinkle some chopped hazelnuts or a dusting of matcha powder on top of the milk foam for an extra touch of elegance. You can also add a drizzle of hazelnut syrup for extra flavor and visual appeal. Fresh mint leaves also work great.
- Serve and Enjoy: Grab a spoon and gently stir the macchiato before drinking to combine all the flavors. Sip slowly and savor the delightful blend of earthy matcha, sweet hazelnut, and creamy milk. Ahhhh! Now that's how you start the day or end the evening.
