Hazelnut Flavoring?
Hazelnut Flavoring?
Sometimes I like to add a touch of hazelnut to my coffee. Not often enough to buy a bag of hazelnut coffee though. I found that a few drops of Hobbyland's hazelnut flavoring added a perfect amount of flavor without any sweetness. Sadly they've gone out of business and I can't find a good replacement. Anyone have a good recommendation for an alternative?
How do you feel about using alcohol for flavoring? I found that nut-based liqueurs are really good for flavoring coffee, you don't need a lot of it to taste it. e.g. 5ml (sixth of an ounce) of amaretto will easily flavor a big cup of coffee, and you definitely aren't going to get drunk off that.
Frangelico is a relatively common hazelnut liqueur.
If 45ml, a shot, at 20% is 9g of alcohol then 5ml is 1g. The equivalent to eating two bananas.
Are you saying I can get drunk off of bananas while adding beneficial fiber to my diet?! 😄
American shot sizes are absurd ... but yeah, if you don't have a reason to keep at 0.0 blood alcohol (e.g. drunk driving laws in some countries/states), using a bit of liqueur for flavoring is not a big deal at all.
I didn't realize frangelico was a hazelnut flavor. I don't think I've ever tried it. Liqueur is usually fairly sweet and I really prefer my coffee entirely unsweetened. Thanks for the suggestion though.
