Almost 'Frangelico'
List of Ingredients
Almost 'Frangelico'
1/2 # Hazelnuts; finely chopped
1 1/2 C Vodka
1/3 C Sugar
3 T Water
1 t Vanilla extract
Recipe
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 3 weeks.
