Coffee Liquer
Ingredients:
1 part water
1 part finely ground coffee
1 part brown sugar
1 part 90 or 100 proof vodka
1 inch fresh vanilla bean per cup ground coffee
1 tsp glycerin per cup ground coffee, optional
Procedure:
Use a filter cone or pot to make the coffee.
Slit the vanilla bean and add it to the water:
bring the water just to boiling and simmer for
15 minutes, covered. Remove the vanilla bean
and reserve. Pour the hot water over the coffee
slowly, making sure to wet all the grounds.
Pour the resulting concentrated coffee through
the grounds a second time. [use resulting
super-brew as the 1 part measure, not the
original 1 part water. Just brew with equal
parts water and coffee and use the resulting
liquid as the 1 part.]
[what works better is to make the coffee
Turkish style in a big sauce pan, bring it up
to 190-200F, let it steep for a while, then
strain it into a collander lined with
cheesecloth and a giant paper filter, available
at places that use those giant brew urns]
Immediately dissolve the sugar in the hot
concentrate. Add the vodka and the reserved
vanilla bean, and refrigerate in a sterilized ,
stoppered bottle for a few days. Taste: when
you can begin to distinguish the vanilla
flavor, discard the vanilla bean and store the
liqueur in a second bottle, or pour and serve.
If you're impatient, substitute vanilla extract
for the bean. Add 2 or 3 drops per cup of vodka
any time after you've brewed the coffee. If you
want your liqueur to have the very heavy body
of the commercial product, add the glycerine
before refrigerating. Variations: Substitute
light rum for the vodka, or add a dash of
tequila to every cup of rum or vodka.
The simple addition of chocolate turns coffee
liqueur into Mocha Liqueur. Thoroughly mix one
part hot water and one part unsweetened cocoa
powder. Add 1/2 tablespoon of this mixture to
every cup of the finished coffee liqueur, and
mix thoroughly.
[1] Styles of coffee liqueurs differ. Before
making your own, I suggest you determine which
style you prefer: Kahlua, for example, is
heavy-bodied and based on a dark-roast coffee;
others, like Tia Maria or liqueurs based on
Kona coffee, use a lighter roast. If you prefer
Kahlua, use a dark-roasted coffee and go a
little heavier on the vanilla and (if you use
it) glycerin; if you prefer one of the liqueurs
based on a lighter roast, use a medium-roast,
acidy coffee, like a Costa Rican

huh? Liquor doesn't have a recipe, you buy it in the bottle as is. What about coffee's? Are you talking about Irish coffee? or Mexican coffee (made with Kahula). Those are hot coffee mixed with Irish whiskey, or the Mexican with Kahula (my fave), with whipped cream on top. They are generally served in a taller glass (made for this purpose so they work with hot liquids) with a handle. I always fill the glass with HOT water first, empty it then pour in the hot coffee. If that's what you meant (even though there was no clear question), there you have it.
