Ingredients
- 480 ml Freshly brewed strong coffee
- 300 g Dark brown sugar
- 1 piece Vanilla bean
- 375 ml Vodka (or white rum for a sweeter liqueur)
- 120 ml Water
Directions
Step 1
Brew 480 ml of strong coffee and set it aside to cool to room temperature.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the dark brown sugar and water. Heat over medium flame, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
Step 3
Split the vanilla bean down the middle lengthwise and scrape out the seeds using the back of a knife.
Step 4
In a large sterilized jar or bottle, combine the cooled coffee, sugar syrup, vodka (or rum), and the vanilla bean (including the seeds and pod).
Step 5
Seal the jar tightly and shake well to mix all ingredients thoroughly.
Step 6
Allow the liqueur to steep for at least 2 weeks, storing it in a cool, dark place. Shake the jar every 1-2 days to help the flavors meld together.
Step 7
After steeping, strain the liqueur through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the vanilla bean pod and any sediment.
Step 8
Transfer the filtered liqueur to a clean, sterilized bottle. Store at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Step 9
Serve on the rocks, in cocktails, or use in desserts. Enjoy responsibly!
