How to Make a Hazelnut Iced Coffee

We love the combination of the nutty sweetness of hazelnuts with all the rich flavours of coffee. This hazelnut iced coffee recipe is refreshing and a little bit sweet, and it’s one of our all-time favourite ways to use our Hazelnut Compostable Coffee Pods, which blend all the toasted, roasted, buttery sweetness of hazelnuts with the natural nutty notes of our signature House Blend coffee. 

If you want a sweeter version, or if you’re a brew-at-home kind of person, then you just need a little hazelnut syrup for this recipe!

Hazelnut Iced Coffee Ingredients

What You'll Need: 

• 2 Grind Hazelnut Coffee Pods or, if you prefer to brew it yourself, 150ml of brewed coffee using our Ground or Whole Bean Coffee. 
• Ice (would be extra cool if you used the Grind Ice Cube Tray)
• 150–200ml milk or milk alternative, depending on how creamy you like your coffee
• 1 tsp brown sugar (optional) 
• 1 ½ tsp hazelnut syrup (if using non-flavoured coffee)

Hazelnut Iced Coffee Recipe

Our quick and easy instruction for making a delicious hazelnut iced coffee, using only a handful of basic ingredients. 

Step 1 

Make a double shot of coffee using two hazelnut coffee pods, or freshly brew 150ml of coffee with your favourite brewing tool (ours is a Cafetière) using our coffee beans or ground coffee. 

Step 2

Stir in a teaspoon of brown sugar (or equivalent sweetener) to your coffee. If you have time, leave it to cool. 

Step 3

Fill a nice glass or cup (cute cups make drinks taste nicer, everyone knows that) with ice cubes. 

Step 4

If using, add the hazelnut syrup to the ice, then pour in the brewed coffee and top with milk. 

Step 5

Stir until it’s all combined, and enjoy.

How Many Calories Are in a Hazelnut Iced Coffee? 

The calorie count in an iced coffee with hazelnut will vary depending on your measurements of milk, sugar, and syrup. Our Hazelnut Coffee Pods are subtly sweet and contain nearly no calories, whereas hazelnut syrup will be a little sweeter and will add around 50 calories to this recipe. Adding extra sugar, milk, or toppings like whipped cream will also increase the calories in this drink. If you’re looking for a lower calorie option, try using a sugar-free syrup or skimmed milk.

Ready to Make Your Own Hazelnut Iced Coffee? 

Obviously, a great hazelnut iced coffee needs great coffee. Choose from our range of speciality-grade coffee in Nespresso® compatible, home-compostable coffee pods or, if you prefer to brew at home, as whole bean and ground. 

If you’re using coffee pods, we’d inevitably suggest you get your hands on our sleek and powerful Grind One Coffee Pod Machine to make sure you’re getting the very best from your pods, making a fuller-bodied, barista-quality coffee. 

And if you want the best of the best, you could also cold brew your coffee overnight with our Cold Brew Bottle, which gives your coffee a smoother taste and retains more of its natural aromas and flavours. It’s more time consuming, but it’s worth it. 

Short on time? We get it—you’re busy. That’s why we have our range of ready-to-drink iced coffee cans, featuring our signature House Blend, slow-steeped in cold water. You can shop all our iced coffees here.
