Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup roasted chestnuts
  • 1/2 cup pecan halves
  • 1/2 cup granulated cane sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • 1 shot of espresso 1.25 ounces
  • 2 % milk amount depending on drink size
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon pralines and cream flavoring
  • Optional toppings: whipped cream crushed pralines

Method
 

  1. Toast the chestnuts and pecans at 375°F for 3-5 minutes until fragrant.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the toasted nuts, sugars, water, and sea salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  3. Allow the syrup to cool, then store in the fridge for up to three weeks.
  4. Brew a shot of espresso (or a double shot for a stronger flavor).
  5. Add the homemade chestnut praline syrup to taste—about 1.5 tablespoons for a tall drink.
  6. Steam the milk and pour it over the espresso and syrup mixture.
  7. Top with whipped cream and crushed pralines for extra indulgence.
  8. Serve hot or iced with cold brew for a refreshing twist.

Notes

Store extra syrup in an airtight container for up to three weeks. Adjust sweetness by adding more or less syrup. Enjoy with a biscotti or gingerbread cookie for the perfect winter pairing.
