Instructions

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup of whole hazelnuts
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup of vodka (adjust based on container size)
• 4+ oz container with a secure lid for storage

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

If your hazelnuts have skins, follow steps 2, 3, and 4. If they do not, skip to step 5.

2. Boil 2 cups of water.
3. Place hazelnuts in a bowl and cover them with hot water, letting them soak for 15 minutes.
4. Once the water cools down, peel the hazelnuts by rubbing off the skin (it should come off easily). Discard the skins and set aside the peeled hazelnuts on a baking sheet.
5. Roast the hazelnuts on a baking sheet at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Shake halfway.
6. Transfer the hazelnuts to a glass container with a tight lid.
7. Pour the Vodka over the roasted hazelnuts.
8. Seal the container tightly and store it in a cool, dark place for at least two months.
9. Shake the container’s contents every week or every few days to mix the ingredients.
