Coffee liqueur
Ingredients
- 200g fresh thickly ground coffee (strong, with no added fravours, e.g. espresso, etc.)
- 1 bottle vodka (700ml)
- 600g sugar
- 600ml water
- vanilla extract (optional)
Directions
-
Add the coffee to the vodka and leave in a sealed jar for 10-15 days.
-
After 10-15 days, boil the sugar and water (and vanilla, if using) for about 10 minutes, mixing until you have a syrup. Leave the syrup to cool and then mix with the vodka and coffee mixture. Leave to stand for another 7 days.
-
Drain the mixture (to remove coffee grounds) and store in a pretty bottle. The liqueur is ready.
