Food extracts can be full of unwanted sugar and other additives such as propylene glycol. The good news is that it's very easy to make your own.

This recipe was adapted from PurpleFoodie. Instead of sugar, I used Erythritol, a healthy low-carb sweetener.

Roasting hazelnuts and infusing them in alcohol really works! Although the original recipe calls for 3-4 weeks, you will be surprised how much of amazing flavour you can get in just 2 weeks.

This hazelnut extract is such a great edible gift, especially if you put it in a cute jar or bottle. And here's a tip for a fun festive drink: Add some heavy whipping cream to transform this into a creamy hazelnut liqueur!
