Instructions
(Applies to All Versions):
- In a bowl or saucepan, whisk together all liquid ingredients until smooth.
- Stir in hazelnut extract or syrup, vanilla extract (if using), and instant espresso powder (if using). Mix until well combined.
- (Optional) Heat over low heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat, let cool slightly, and transfer to an airtight container.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 1–2 weeks.
- Shake well before each use.
Notes:
- Sweetener Adjustments: If using syrup instead of extract, use 3–4 times more and adjust sweetness as needed.
- Heating Tip: Warming the mixture helps dissolve the espresso powder and enhances flavor but is optional.
- Storage: Dairy-free and sugar-free versions may separate slightly—shake before each use.
