Hazelnuts and vanilla create a homemade substitute for Frangelico liqueur.
How To Make Hazelnut Liqueur - Frangelico
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb Hazelnuts, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 cup Vodka
- 1/3 cup Sugar
- 3 tbsp Water
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
-
In a glass bottle or jar, steep the chopped hazelnuts in the vodka for about 2 weeks in a cool, dark place, gently shaking the bottle every day.
-
Gently pour the jar's contents through a regular strainer or sieve, pressing hard on the nuts to release all of their flavor. Follow this by two strainings through slightly dampened cheesecloth.
-
For true clarity and professional looking results, pour the strained mixture through a large clean coffee filter placed inside a funnel or clean coffee cone; loosely cover with plastic wrap since the process may take several hours.
-
In a very small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil over moderately high heat. Simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes.
-
Let cool to room temperature. Stir in the vanilla. Funnel the strained hazelnut mixture into a glass bottle, then funnel in the sugar syrup.
-
Cover tightly; shake to blend. Let mature, at room temperature or slightly cooler, for at least three weeks.
