The Piemonte region of Italy is famous for its hazelnuts, where they are paired with chocolate to make famous candies as well as an intensely decadent hot beverage known as bicerìn. Coffee, too, pairs extremely well with hazelnut's naturally sweet richness. A dollop of whipped cream turns this sweet hazelnut coffee into a true indulgence. We think it's the perfect way to elevate your everyday cup to something a little extra special.

We chose fan favorite Peet's Big Bang® for this recipe because of it's smooth, medium roast profile.

2. Simmer on low for 5 minutes until all the sugar is dissolved and the liquid thickens just slightly.

3. Remove from the heat, let cool, and stir in the hazelnut extract.

4. Add 1/4 teaspoon to a cup of Peet's Big Bang coffee, add cream and top with whipped cream for a special treat. Increase the amount of syrup as you wish for a sweeter taste.
