Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 480 ml Strong brewed coffee
- 200 g Granulated sugar
- 100 g Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Vanilla extract
- 350 ml Vodka
Instructions
Brew 480 ml of strong coffee and let it cool to room temperature.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar with 240 ml of brewed coffee (set the rest aside). Stir until the sugars dissolve completely.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sugar mixture cool completely.
Once cooled, combine the sugar mixture, the remaining brewed coffee, vanilla extract, and vodka in a large mixing bowl or pitcher. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
Transfer the liqueur to a clean, airtight bottle or jar for storage.
Seal the container tightly and let the liqueur rest in a cool, dark place for at least 7 days before use. Shake the bottle gently once a day to help the flavors meld together.
After 7 days, your coffee liqueur is ready to use. Serve over ice, mix it into cocktails, or enjoy it in desserts!
