How to Make 16 Oz Coffee Liqueur

  1. Place 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped, into your coffee carafe.
  2. Brew 16 oz of strong dark roast coffee. Allow to cool completely.
  3. Pour the cooled coffee back into the coffee maker and re-brew through the same grounds for a more concentrated flavor.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the double-brewed coffee, 4 oz vodka, 2 oz granulated sugar, and 1 oz molasses. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  5. Pour the mixture into a clean, airtight bottle.
  6. Let the liqueur sit in a cool, dark place for two days, allowing the flavors to meld.
  7. After two days, strain the liqueur through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth (optional, for a smoother texture).
  8. Clean your coffee pot thoroughly.
