Our extract pro, Bonnie is at it again. This time she has created a coffee extract that is a must-try for any coffee lover. You can see Bonnie's posts and progress in our private Facebook group, Making Vanilla Extract by VanillaPura

In Bonnie's words and with her pictures:

I use 2 cups of whole coffee beans cracked with a mortar and pestle, as pictured below. 

I placed the cracked coffee beans in mason jar and added 16 ounces of Blue Steel Vodka let it sit for 1 month. I did not change out the beans at all. 

After 1 month I strained the extract to remove the beans. It smells and tastes just like coffee! 

Then, let the beans dry, grind them and you have great coffee grounds.

I only used 1 cup beans to 8oz of kirkland’s 40% vodka. Used burr grinder to make a rough bean cut. Thinking of using it making a mocha icecream or for baking. Thank you for this recipe

Will you offer suggestions how to use coffee extract?

— Gereda Julie

Can’t wait to try it. I always grind my own coffee. Are there any particular beans that are better suited for this?
Thank you!
