Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups water
3 cups sugar
3/4 cup instant coffee granules
2 cups vodka
1 or 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise

Steps:

  • Bring 2 cups water to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Add sugar and coffee. Reduce heat to very low. Stir just until sugar and coffee dissolve. Remove from heat. Let stand until cool, about 1 hour.
  • Mix vodka into coffee syrup. Pour into large jar. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean halves. Add bean halves to jar. Stir to blend. Cover; let stand at room temperature at least 3 weeks and up to 6 weeks. Discard vanilla bean halves before serving.

Tips:

  • Use Freshly Roasted Coffee Beans: For the best flavor, use freshly roasted coffee beans. This will give your liqueur a richer, more complex flavor.
  • Choose a High-Quality Vodka: The quality of the vodka you use will also impact the flavor of your liqueur. Choose a high-quality vodka that is smooth and flavorful.
  • Infuse the Vodka with Coffee Beans: To infuse the vodka with coffee beans, add the beans to a jar or bottle of vodka and seal it tightly. Store the jar or bottle in a cool, dark place for at least two weeks, shaking it occasionally.
  • Use a Good Quality Vanilla Bean: If you're using a vanilla bean, be sure to use a good quality one. This will give your liqueur a more intense vanilla flavor.
  • Sweeten with Simple Syrup: Simple syrup is a mixture of sugar and water that is used to sweeten drinks. To make simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, then remove from heat and let cool.
  • Let the Liqueur Mature: Once you've made your coffee liqueur, let it mature for at least two weeks before drinking. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.

Conclusion:

Homemade coffee liqueur is a delicious and versatile drink that can be enjoyed on its own, added to cocktails, or used in desserts. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make your own coffee liqueur at home. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try today!
