Zubereitung von Dad's Tia Maria
- Steep 1 ¾ ounces (52 grams) of instant coffee granules in 4 cups (950 ml) of boiling water. Let it steep for 10-15 minutes to allow the coffee to fully infuse.
- Create a simple syrup: Combine 6 cups (1200 grams) of granulated sugar with 5 cups (1180 ml) of boiling water in a saucepan. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Let the syrup cool completely before adding 2 ounces (60 ml) of pure vanilla extract.
- Gently combine the cooled coffee mixture and the cooled vanilla syrup. Add 1 ¾ pints (875 ml) of 190-proof ethyl alcohol (Everclear or similar). Stir until everything is well incorporated.
- Carefully pour the mixture into a clean bottle or jar. Seal tightly and allow it to rest in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks to allow the flavors to meld and mellow. The longer it sits, the smoother it will become.
- Before serving, strain the liqueur through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any coffee grounds or sediment for a crystal-clear result.
- Enjoy responsibly! Serve chilled or over ice.
