1
Combine Water and Sugar
In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of water and 2 cups of sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. This creates a simple syrup.
2
Brew Coffee
Add 1 cup of medium roast ground coffee to the saucepan. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3
Strain Coffee Mixture
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Strain the coffee mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bowl to remove the coffee grounds.
4
Add Flavorings
Once the coffee mixture is cool, stir in 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. If desired, add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of ground nutmeg for additional flavor.
5
Combine with Vodka
In a large glass bottle or jar, combine the strained coffee mixture with 2 cups of vodka. Seal the bottle tightly and shake well to mix all ingredients thoroughly.
6
Let It Sit
Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for at least 1 week to let the flavors meld. Shake the bottle every few days.
