Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup roughly chopped roasted hazelnuts* (or 2 tsp hazelnut extract)

Instructions

  • Put water, sugar, and chopped hazelnuts (or extract) in a medium saucepan and bring mixture to a boil.
  • Once boiling, lower heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes, until mixture has thickened a bit. Remove from heat. If using nuts, I recommend letting the syrup rest for about 30 minutes to let the hazelnut flavor continue to steep into the syrup.
  • If using nuts, strain the mixture into a heat-proof bowl, leaving behind the hazelnuts (I recommend saving them for snacking or topping ice cream with!). If using extract, simply pour syrup into a heat-proof bowl or mason jar.
  • Keep mixture in bowl or transfer into a mason jar and place in fridge to cool completely. Syrup will continue to thicken as it cools.

Notes

*If your hazelnuts aren't roasted, I recommend roasting them in oven before turning into syrup.
