Method

Preparation

1

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.

2

Make the Simple Syrup

In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let cool.

3

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.

4

Combine and Filter

After 2 weeks, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle. Discard the solids.

5

Add Flavor Enhancements

To the strained liquid, add the simple syrup, cocoa powder, almond extract, and ground cinnamon. Stir until well combined.

6

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.
