I can't find any reference for 'hazel' or 'hazel
leaves' or even a 'hazel tree', for that matter.
However, I have a plethora of references for Witch
Hazel and Hazelnut!! However, since Witch Hazel has a
rather astringent quality, I can't see that it would
be used very often in food. Particularly the
concentrated juice. I'll keep checking, and do a
quick internet search, but I don't think I'm going to
have much luck.
