Mocha Ultra Coffee Concentrate
Craving a café-style chocolate hazelnut latte without leaving home? With Jot's ultra coffee concentrate, you can whip up a rich, indulgent drink in seconds—no espresso machine or barista skills required. This guide walks you through a simple recipe that balances bold coffee, chocolate, and hazelnut flavors, plus tips to avoid common mistakes.
Whether you're a morning person or need an afternoon pick-me-up, this homemade hazelnut latte is endlessly customizable. Use hot or cold milk, adjust sweetness, and even make it dairy-free. Let's get brewing.
Why Use Jot Coffee Concentrate for Lattes?
Jot Ultra Coffee Concentrate is brewed at 20x strength, meaning a little goes a long way. One tablespoon mixed with water or milk gives you a full cup of coffee in seconds—no waiting for a drip brewer or fiddling with espresso machines. This makes it ideal for quick lattes at home or on the go.
The concentrate is versatile: you can mix it with hot or cold milk, add flavored syrups, or even blend it into smoothies. Because it's concentrated, you control the strength, so you can make a mild latte or a bold mocha depending on your mood.
- Use one tablespoon per 8 oz of liquid for a standard strength.
- For a stronger coffee flavor, add an extra half tablespoon.
- Always stir well to ensure the concentrate fully dissolves.
Ingredients for a Chocolate Hazelnut Duo Latte
To build your chocolate hazelnut duo latte, you'll need: 1 tablespoon Jot Ultra Coffee Concentrate (choose Mocha for built-in chocolate), 1 cup milk or milk alternative, 1-2 tablespoons chocolate syrup or sauce, 1/2-1 tablespoon hazelnut syrup, and optional whipped cream or cocoa powder for garnish.
If you're using Jot's Mocha Ultra Coffee Concentrate, you already have a chocolate-coffee base, so you can reduce the chocolate syrup. For a purist approach, start with plain Jot Caramel or Cinnamon Dolce and add your own chocolate and hazelnut flavors—experiment to find your perfect balance.
- For a dairy-free version, use oat, almond, or coconut milk.
- Adjust sweetness by varying syrup amounts.
- Cold milk works for an iced latte; hot milk for a cozy warm cup.
Step-by-Step: Making Your Latte
The process is simple: heat your milk (or keep it cold), add the coffee concentrate, and stir in your syrups. For a frothy texture, use a milk frother or shake the milk in a jar before adding. The key is to taste as you go—everyone's sweetness preference differs.
One common mistake is adding too much concentrate, which can make the drink bitter. Start with one tablespoon and adjust. Another is not mixing thoroughly, leaving a strong coffee layer at the bottom. Stir well or use a whisk for a consistent blend.
- Heat milk gently to avoid scalding—just until steaming.
- If making an iced latte, brew the concentrate with a little hot water first to dissolve fully.
- Top with foam or whipped cream for a café feel.
Recipe Steps with Checkpoints
- Gather your ingredients: Collect Jot concentrate, milk, chocolate syrup, hazelnut syrup, and any garnishes. Choose your Jot flavor based on desired base. Checkpoint: Have all ingredients measured before you start to avoid interruptions.
- Prepare your milk: Heat 1 cup of milk until steaming (for hot latte) or keep cold (for iced). For extra froth, use a frother or shake in a sealed jar. Checkpoint: Don't overheat milk—scalded milk ruins texture.
- Mix the coffee concentrate: Add 1 tablespoon of Jot concentrate to your cup. If using plain concentrate, add a dash of hot water to help it dissolve. Checkpoint: Taste a tiny sip to ensure it's not too strong before adding milk.
- Add chocolate and hazelnut flavors: Stir in 1-2 tablespoons chocolate syrup and 1/2 to 1 tablespoon hazelnut syrup. Adjust to your sweetness preference. Checkpoint: Balance flavors—too much syrup can overpower the coffee.
- Combine and finish: Pour the milk over the concentrate-syrup mixture. Stir well. Top with foam, whipped cream, or a dusting of cocoa. Checkpoint: Taste and adjust—add more concentrate for strength or syrup for sweetness.
