1 Pint
- Serves:
- 16
ingredients
- 1⁄2 lb hazelnuts, finely chopped
- 1 1⁄2 cups vodka
- 1⁄3 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
directions
- 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 clean, sterilized, glass bottle and then funnel in the sugar syrup.
- Cover tightly; shake to blend.
- Let mature, at room temperature or slightly cooler, for at least three weeks.
