Method
 

  1. Creating a Dunkin Hazelnut Swirl at home is straightforward. With a few simple steps, you can enjoy this drink anytime.
Step 1: Brew Your Coffee
  1. Start by brewing your favorite coffee. I personally favor a medium roast for a balanced flavor. Use a coffee maker, French press, or pour-over – whatever you prefer will work fine.
Step 2: Prepare the Hazelnut Syrup
  1. You can buy hazelnut syrup or, if feeling adventurous, make your own. Combine one cup of water, one cup of sugar, and one cup of chopped hazelnuts. Simmer for ten minutes, then strain. Voila! Homemade hazelnut syrup!
Step 3: Froth Your Milk (Optional)
  1. If you’re aiming for a creamy texture, froth your milk. You can use a frother, or simply shake it in a jar. The goal is to achieve a light and airy consistency.
Step 4: Mix the Ingredients
  1. In a large mug, combine about two tablespoons of hazelnut syrup with your freshly brewed coffee. Stir well to incorporate the flavors.
Step 5: Add Milk
  1. Pour in your desired milk amount for creaminess. If you’re feeling daring, you can even top it with whipped cream for an extra treat.
Step 6: Taste and Adjust
  1. Give it a taste. Need a touch more sweetness? Add more syrup. Want a stronger coffee flavor? Pour in a bit more coffee. Adjust according to your palate.
Step 7: Garnish
  1. For a little extra flair, sprinkle chopped hazelnuts on top or a dash of chocolate shavings. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

Perfecting your Dunkin Hazelnut Swirl comes with experience. Here are a few handy tips:
  • Experiment with Milk: Different milk types drastically change the flavor. Almond milk adds a nice nuttiness, while oat milk offers creaminess.
  • Homemade Syrup: Making your own hazelnut syrup allows you full control over sweetness. You can even infuse it with vanilla or cinnamon for added depth.
  • Iced Versions: If you love iced coffee, brew your coffee a bit stronger than usual. When iced, a lighter brew can taste diluted.
  • Flavor Combinations: Try mixing in chocolate syrup or vanilla extract. The results may surprise you in the best way.
  • Storing Leftovers: If you have extra hazelnut syrup, store it in a glass jar in the fridge for up to two weeks. It can be used for other drinks or even pancakes!
