Recipe Introduction


Been making this since the 70s


List of Ingredients




1 cup instant coffee crystals (good quality)
2 cups each brown sugar (light and dark)
3 cups water
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and halved
1 (750 milliliter alcohol) (brandy, rum or vodka)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Recipe



Combine water and instant coffee in a pot; bring to a boil. Stir in light and dark brown sugars into the coffee, reduce heat, and simmer, stir mixture. Should be thick. Remove from heat and cool completely.

Pour coffee mixture into a clean, large glass jar. Add alcohol, vanilla extract, and vanilla bean; cover with tight fitting lid. Let sit in a dark place, shaking occasionally, for 1 month. Divide into bottles leaving a piece of the vanilla bean in each.
