started with the 1st post recipe years ago.....now use this revised recipe
1/2 gal of strong coffee
1/2 gal of Vodka x2
7 cups sugar
2 cap full of Vanilla Extract (caps off the vodka bottles)
bring coffee & sugar to a boil, then simmer 20 min
add vanilla extract to vodka while watching coffee boil
let coffee cool to room temp then add vodka
mix well then bottle and let rest for at least 3 days
I have found a few hidden bottles with a year or two aging on them
