Boil ten minutes to make a simple syrup. Add 3/4 cup instant coffee mixed with 1/2 cup water. Cool syrup and add one vanilla bean (cut in pieces) Add a fifth of Vodka or Brandy. Put in a jug and shake daily for three weeks, then Bottle. Sometimes I brew "extremely" strong Coffee or at least 1 1/2 cups of espresso and substitute it for the instant and it turns out even better. If you use brewed coffee, just use 1 1/2 cups of it. Better yet try to brew a full pot of coffee using only about 1 1/2 cups of water if you don't have an espresso maker.
