How to Make Tia Maria

  1. In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of water, 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar, and ½ cup of strong brewed coffee. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely to room temperature.
  3. Once cooled, stir in 1 cup of dark rum and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.
  4. Carefully pour the mixture into a clean, sterilized bottle. Seal tightly.
  5. Let the liqueur rest in a cool, dark place for at least 1 week, allowing the flavors to meld and develop. The longer it rests, the smoother and more delicious it will become (up to 3 weeks for optimal flavor).
