How to Make the Best Homemade Coffee Liqueur

Today I am absolutely delighted to share with you guys a recipe that combines two of my most favorite things: coffee and liqueur. This recipe will teach you how to make your own coffee liqueur from scratch with only a few simple ingredients.

The only ingredient that you’ll need that’s somewhat uncommon will be two vanilla beans, and you’ll want to split each of them in half lengthwise. Other than that, you’ll only be needing fairly standard kitchen fare: both brown sugar and granulated sugar, water, two ounces of powdered instant coffee, and three cups of vodka. The only downside to this recipe that I can think of is that you’ll have to wait about two weeks before it’s ready to go (store it in a dark, cool place in the meantime).
