Under the tree or as a hostess gift, this handmade treat will be greatly appreciated. One year, I gave a homemade "real food" hot cocoa kit with handmade real marshmallows and coffee liqueur for the big kids in the family. This is a tasty and easy thing to keep stocked for yourself!
4 cups strong coffee
3 cups sugar
5 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups vodka
1. Combine the coffee, sugar and half of the vanilla in the slow cooker.
2. Cover and heat on a low setting for 2 to 3 hours. Stir twice to blend the sugar as it dissolves.
3. After three hours add the remaining vanilla and the vodka and heat for another hour.
Yields: About 7 cups
After this last hour, let the liqueur cool completely and bottle in a mason jar with a ribbon or any gift worthy bottle. You can double the recipe and make some for yourself! Be sure to store it in the refrigerator to keep it safe. Enjoy this over ice, with a little milk, or in your coffee. This is a delicious after dinner dessert drink.
Slow Cooker size 3-5 quart
Happy Creating,
