Ingredients
4 cups white (or brown) sugar 4 cups water ¾ cup instant coffee granules 2 tablespoons vanilla extract 4 cups vodka
Step 1
In a saucepan combine the sugar and water over medium heat and bring it to a boil and as soon as it’s bubbling, reduce the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Remove from heat, stir in instant coffee, and allow to cool. When cool, stir in vanilla extract and vodka. Pour into clean bottles and store in a cool dark place.
