Hazelnut Flavoring? (lemmy.world)

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?

I don’t have a brand I would recommend, but I can say making your own extracts is extremely easy. Roughly chopping hazelnuts, toasting them, and adding them to a neutral vodka or glycerin would take maybe ten minutes and no special equipment. I went through an extract phase a while back and still have several, including a truly kickass coffee vodka.

Making it yourself isn’t fast, but I share your dislike of how hard it is to find unsweetened, reasonably priced extracts. I don’t want syrups, I like being able to control sugar content separate from additional flavors.

I do wonder how it would taste in comparison. I’ve never tasted hazelnut extract vs flavored coffee, creamer, or syrup, only ever in baked goods.

TIL! I've wanted so many different types of extracts and had no idea they were that easy to make. Thanks!
