A little while back I made some limoncello, following the directions of an aged Italian mama. However, shaving lemons proved to be a bit of an arse, though the results were delicious, so this time I've decided to give a coffee based liqueur a go, with my take on a home made kahlua.
I've taken a 750ml bottle of vodka and rammed a bag of coffee beans up it, added a couple of cups of sugar and a sprinkling of cinnamon. Dissolving the sugar into the cold vodka is proving tricky, though I reckon it'll go eventually. Now all I've got to do is bide my time for a few weeks whilst the mix gets busy. I'll be shaking my bottles daily to ensure they feel loved and am keeping them in a cool dark place.
