This
recipe yields about 5cups liquor. You will need:
1 1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 cups water
1/2 cup instant coffee granules
3 cups vodka
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
10 whole coffee beans
In a
medium sized sauce pan combine sugars and water over medium-high heat. Bring to
a boil, stirring occassionally. Now, lower the heat to a simmer, and cook until
mixture comes to a syruppy consistency, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat
and whisk in the instant coffee. Allow this to cool to room temparature and
then stir in the remaining ingredients (all except for the coffee beans!) until
well blended. Use a funnel top pour this into a clean, 1/2 gallon glass jar,
and drop in the coffee beans. Cover tightly, and allow to rest for two weeks.
Uncap and try your own homemade coffee liquor in your next cup of coffee!
