Method
Preparation
Toast the Hazelnuts
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly, then chop coarsely.
Infuse the Vodka
In a large jar or bottle, combine the toasted hazelnuts, vanilla bean, and high-proof vodka. Seal tightly and let infuse for at least 2 weeks in a cool, dark place, shaking occasionally.
Combine and Filter
After 2 weeks, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle. Discard the solids.
Add Flavor Enhancements
To the strained liquid, add the simple syrup, cocoa powder, almond extract, and ground cinnamon. Stir until well combined.
Bottle and Store
Pour the final mixture into a clean bottle, seal, and store in a cool, dark place. Allow to sit for an additional week for flavors to meld before using.
