Equipment
- mortar and pestle Or coffee grinder
- 1 mason jar
Ingredients
- 1 cup unflavored vodka
- 1/4 cup dark roast coffee beans
Instructions
- Crush the coffee beans until they are coarse.
- Add the crushed coffee beans to the mason jar and cover them with vodka.
- Shake the jar and store it in a pantry or cupboard out of direct sunlight for approximately 3-4 weeks. Shake the jar each day.
- After this time, strain the coffee extract with a cheesecloth or coffee filter and bottle it in a container with an airtight lid.
Notes
For an extra strong coffee flavor, strain out the old beans around week 3 and replace them with new. Let them sit for an additional 2-3 weeks for the strongest extract!
Use any coffee you'd like for this recipe including dark roast, blonde roast, etc. I used an organic dark roast for a really rich flavor.
If you don't have a coffee grinder or mortar and pestle, you can substitute freshly ground coffee. Substitute 2-3 TBS of ground coffee for the 1/4 cup of coffee beans.
