Plan ahead. This takes about 5-6 weeks to 'mature'. I'm guessing at the number of servings since there were none given with the recipe. From Glorious Liqueurs by Mary Morris.

Steps:
- 1. In a glass bottle or jar, steep the chopped hazelnuts in the vodka for about 2 weeks in a cool, dark place, gently shaking the bottle every day.
- 2. Gently pour the contents through a strainer or sieve, pressing hard on the nuts to release all the flavor.
- 3. Follow this by 2 strainings through slightly dampened cheesecloth or large coffee filter; loosely cover the contents with plastic wrap, since the process may take several hours.
- 4. In a very small saucepan, combine the sugar and water.
- 5. Bring to a boil over moderate-high heat.
- 6. Simmer, uncovered for 5 minutes.
- 7. Let cool to room temperature.
- 8. Stir in the vanilla.
- 9. Funnel into a glass bottle, then funnel in the sugar syrup.
- 10. Cover tightly; shake to blend.
- 11. Let mature at room temperature, or slightly cooler, for at least 3 weeks.
Tips:
- To achieve the best flavor, use high-quality hazelnuts. Freshly roasted hazelnuts will impart the most intense flavor to the liqueur.
- If you don't have a nutcracker, you can also roast the hazelnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, or until they are fragrant and lightly browned.
- To make the simple syrup, dissolve the sugar in boiling water and then let it cool completely before using.
- Be sure to use a clean and sterilized bottle or jar to store the liqueur.
- Frangelico can be stored at room temperature for up to 6 months. It can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 year.
Conclusion:
Homemade Frangelico is a delicious and versatile liqueur that can be enjoyed on its own, used in cocktails, or added to desserts. It's a great gift for friends and family, and it's also a fun and easy project to make at home. With a little patience and effort, you can create a delicious liqueur that you'll be proud to share.
