Preparation of Base
Toast the Nuts
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the hazelnuts or walnuts for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until they are golden brown and fragrant.

Flavoring the Nocello
Add Flavorings
Stir in the vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and freshly brewed coffee into the mixture. Ensure everything is well incorporated.
Bottle and Infuse
Transfer the nocello mixture into a clean glass bottle. Seal tightly and let it infuse in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks, shaking the bottle every few days.
Strain and Serve
After the infusion period, strain the nocello through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into another bottle. It is now ready to be served over ice or used in cocktails.
