HAZELNUT SUGAR SYRUP

I just love a hint of hazelnut in my coffee, and the grocers never carry hazelnut syrup when I need it. I adapted this from a basic recipe at CDKitcheon's web site and loaded it here for safekeeping. Some pharmacists recommended adding 1 to 2 teaspoons of corn syrup to help keep the consistency of the simple syrup smooth for storage, although the addition of spirits prolongs the shelf life indefinitely according to the International Cocktail Database. To use Splenda, use 2 parts granulated Splenda to 1 part water for a concentrated simple syrup.

Time 17m

Yield 1 cup, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

6 tablespoons superfine sugar
2/3 cup water
3 tablespoons hazelnut extract or 3 tablespoons hazelnut-flavored liqueur

Steps:

  • In a saucepan with a tight fitting lid, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Cover immediately, remove from the heat and cool completely.
  • Transfer simple syrup to a measuring cup and stir in the extract or liqueur. If the syrup has evaporated slightly, add enough water to equal 1 cup syrup. If multiplying this base for a larger quantity, add water to equal the appropriate amount.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Hazelnuts: Opt for fresh, plump, and flavorful hazelnuts for the best results. Avoid any nuts that are shriveled or rancid.
  • Toasting the Hazelnuts: Toasting the hazelnuts enhances their flavor and aroma. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer and toast in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  • Making the Simple Syrup: Use equal parts granulated sugar and water for the base of the simple syrup. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Avoid boiling the syrup, as this can cause crystallization.
  • Infusing the Syrup with Hazelnuts: Add the toasted hazelnuts to the simple syrup and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes. This allows the syrup to absorb the nutty flavor and aroma. Remove the hazelnuts from the syrup before using.
  • Storing the Hazelnut Simple Syrup: Once the syrup has cooled completely, transfer it to a clean glass jar or bottle. Seal tightly and store in a cool, dark place for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze the syrup for longer storage.

Conclusion:

Hazelnut Simple Syrup is a versatile ingredient that can elevate the flavors of various beverages and desserts. Its rich, nutty taste perfectly complements coffee drinks, cocktails, mocktails, teas, and even sparkling water. Additionally, it adds a touch of sophistication to baked goods like cakes, muffins, and cookies.
