6. BONUS RECIPE: Hazelnut Latte (Using MOMA Salted Maple & Hazelnut Barista Oat Milk)

This winter drink is trending thanks to the rich hazelnut–maple flavour of MOMA’s Salted Maple & Hazelnut Oat Milk — barista-quality, ultra-foamable, and no syrups required. Inspired by their festive latte method.

• Pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg

Method

5. Pour into the espresso, holding back the foam.

6. Spoon a little foam on top and finish with cinnamon or nutmeg.

Creamy, nutty, wintery perfection.
