    "content_text": "Little's Rich Hazelnut Instant Coffee: After Dinner and Iced, in summary: Little's Rich Hazelnut carries the flavour in freeze-dried Arabica granules, and the published list says it contains hazelnuts. It is the after-dinner jar: one spoon, water just off the boil, black or over ice with cold milk.\nLast reviewed by the teas.co.uk team in September 2026.\nHazelnut is the flavour that sits most comfortably on coffee, because roasted nut and roasted bean are close neighbours in taste. That is why this jar drinks as one thing rather than coffee with something tipped into it.\nWhat is in the jar, nuts included \nThe published ingredient list for this barcode is short: freeze-dried Arabica coffee and Rich Hazelnut flavouring. It states plainly that the jar contains nuts, specifically hazelnuts, so anyone avoiding tree nuts should leave it on the shelf rather than assume a flavouring carries no nut. As always, check the current UK pack before buying, since formulations and allergen advice can change.\nThe format matches the other two Little's jars we stock. The flavour is carried in the granule itself rather than poured in from a bottle, so there is nothing to measure and no syrup sweetening the drink. It is made like any other instant, and the hazelnut comes through with the coffee. The coffee stays readable underneath instead of disappearing behind the flavour.\nDose and water for a nutty cup \nA rounded teaspoon, about 2g, per 200ml mug is the place to begin; after that, let your own taste decide. If you take plenty of milk, go up a little, because milk dulls aromatic flavours sooner than it dulls coffee. For more coffee character under the hazelnut, add a touch more granule rather than changing anything else; the base comes forward as the dose goes up.\nWater matters more here than with a plain instant. The hazelnut is volatile and lifts off the surface as soon as hot water meets the granules, which is why a fresh mug smells far nuttier than one left to stand. Pour at about 90\u00b0C, which in practice means leaving the kettle for a minute after it boils, and drink it while the aroma is still rising from the cup.\nAfter dinner, or long over ice \nThis is the jar for the end of a meal, a small cup that can stand in for pudding when you want something that tastes like a treat without a dessert. Hazelnut reads sweeter than the cup really is. On a warm afternoon it also works long: dissolve a spoonful in a little hot water, pour it over ice and top up with cold milk.\nFifty grams, about twenty-five mugs at a standard dose, is the sensible quantity for a flavour you only want occasionally. Little's, the Devon family firm behind it, makes every jar in-house at its Willand factory and describes the range as vegan-friendly. A plain shortbread finger suits it well, and a dark chocolate digestive is every bit as good.\nThe packs we stock \n\nLittle's Rich Hazelnut Flavour Infused Instant Coffee, 50g (barcode 5034718081025)\n\nWhat the label says \nThe published ingredient list for Little's Rich Hazelnut Flavour Infused Instant Coffee, 50g (barcode 5034718081025) says it contains nuts (hazelnuts).

Yes. The published ingredient list for this barcode says it contains nuts, namely hazelnuts. With a nut allergy, read the hazelnut jar itself every time you buy.\nWhat coffee is used? The published ingredient list names freeze-dried Arabica coffee, with Rich Hazelnut flavouring.\nWhy does it taste sweet with no syrup in it? The published list names only the coffee and the flavouring. Hazelnut reads as sweetness on the nose, so taste it before adding sugar.\nHow much should I use per mug? One rounded teaspoon, roughly 2g, per 200ml mug, and a little more if you add plenty of milk.\nCan I drink it iced? Yes. Dissolve it in a little hot water first, then pour over ice with cold milk.\nCurator's note: After a Sunday roast, a small cup of this and nothing else is the whole pudding course as far as I am concerned. Keep the jar for moments like that and it earns its space.
