I recently made some Coffee Liqueur and it was such a hit under my friends that I decided to post the recipe here. It is really easy to make and you can drink it immediately if you like, but if you can wait I suggest letting it sit for at least 10 days - it makes a big difference to the taste Ingredients:
2 cups of good strong coffee |
1 and 1/2 cups sugar |
2 cups water |
2 tbsp vanilla |
1 cinnamon stick (optional) |
750ml vodka or rum |
Directions:
1. Use some good, strong coffee, preferably not instant, and brew two STRONG cups.
2. Put the sugar, water, vanilla and cinnamon stick in a casserole (pot) and bring to a simmer. Add the 2 cups of coffee and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Add the vodka or rum.
3. I usually pour mine into a large jar (1.5L) which I shake everyday - to stir up the coffee residue and get the flavours mixing a bit. After about 10 days I take out the cinnamon stick and pour the coffee liqueur into bottels.
4. Makes about 2 x 750ml bottels
5. It is great to drink on its own (ice cold) or over crushed ice or in a cocktail.
