INGREDIENTS

  • 12 ounces water
  • 2 tablespoons ground hazelnut-flavored coffee
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (plus more for dusting, if desired)
  • 2/3 cup skim milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

DIRECTIONS

  1. Bring the water to a boil in a teakettle or small saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Combine the coffee and cocoa powder in a French press. Pour in the water, stir, and place the lid on top of the carafe. Allow the coffee to brew 4 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, combine the milk and sugar in a tall microwave safe glass measuring cup. Heat on high until hot, about 45-60 seconds (depending on the wattage of your microwave). Place the frothing coil of a handheld frother into the milk, turn the frother on, and raise and lower it in the milk until a thick foam forms.
  4. When the coffee has brewed 4 minutes, push the plunger down as far as it will go. Pour the coffee in 2 cups.
  5. Pour the milk into the two cups, using a spoon to hold the foam back in the measuring cup. Once the milk is in the two cups, spoon the foam on top. Top with a dusting of cocoa powder if desired.
