Hazelnut Coffee

How To Make A Cup Of Homemade Hazelnut Goodness

Let's get to the heart of all this, shall we? At the local coffee shop, the barista always pours flavored syrup into the
coffee cup. Is this the only way to get a delicious treat? Of course not! Here's the secret: if there's syrup and it's not from the maple tree, there's a better way to get that flavor. Chocolate syrup is sweet, but not sweeter than real melted chocolate. The same goes for strawberry and caramel syrup. So why settle for a nutty flavor that comes out of a pump bottle like a perfumed shampoo?

 

A brief history lesson 

Hazelnuts come from corylus avellana, a tree native to Europe and western Asia. It became an important part of organized agriculture about nine thousand years ago, in what is now Scotland. These ancient people did not have much meat in this part of the world, so they depended on grains to keep them satisfied. The combination of fat and nutrients of nuts will make them strong and healthy. Imagine that 9,000 years go by and people still eat the same thing, but with a little added sugar these days - although coffee with hazelnuts might not count as part of the paleo diet. Today, hazelnuts are grown all over the world, in Turkey, Poland, the United States and China. Hazelnut spreads and candies are the main uses of the nut and the public's demand for a unique flavor continues to grow. You can also get a cup of hazelnut coffee in almost every restaurant and cafe around the world, but none of those with sweet syrup will taste like a cup. you do at home.
