How to Make Hazelnut Sugar Syrup

  1. In a small saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Immediately remove from the heat, cover the saucepan tightly with the lid, and let it cool completely.
  4. Once cooled, transfer the simple syrup to a measuring cup. Stir in 1 teaspoon of hazelnut extract (or 1 tablespoon of hazelnut liqueur for a richer flavor).
  5. Add water if needed to reach 1 cup of syrup.
  6. Optional: For a smoother, longer-lasting syrup, add 1-2 teaspoons of light corn syrup before cooling. For an even longer shelf life, add a shot (1.5 ounces) of vodka or other high-proof alcohol.
