Coffee Liqueur
Recipes / Beverages- 1 cup fresh brewed espresso
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups vodka
- 1/2 vanilla bean split lengthwise
Add the sugar to the espresso. After cooling, add the vanilla bean and vodka. Transfer to a dark glass bottle. After 2-4 weeks strain, remove the vanilla bean and transfer to a new bottle.
You may substitute half a cup of vodka with brandy to obtain a slightly different flavor.
Whoever has lived long enough to find out what life is, knows how deep a debt
of gratitude we owe to Adam, the first great benefactor of our race. He
brought death into the world.
-- Mark Twain, "Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar"
