      Ingredients:
      • 2oz. of coffee beans (I went with a Kona blend from Safeway but go with your favorite bean)

      Do you think I could use 190 proof to make this or would it be too strong? I prefer using Diamond Clear for my extracts, its basically Everclear but its organic. I love keeping my recipes as organic as possible. Do you think I would need to dilute it? Thanks :)

      Hi! I used whole Peet’s aged Sumatra coffee beans with vodka and rum. Yummy strong coffee flavor….made liquor……some is sitting with a couple of vanilla beans. Some I also had carob nibs mixed in. Your recipe started it all! Thank you. Oh…also did it in food grade glycerin 😁

      I was switching out my beans and now only have about 1/2 cup of liquid! Is this normal? Should I add more vodka when I add the new beans?

      Hello, Derrick!

      The process is about two months but be sure to test taste it and adjust based on your liking!

      Maybe I’m just not seeing it. But how long is the process all together? Change the beans twice a month for how many months?

      Hi Pamela!

      A coffee grinder would certainly work in making a coarse grind. :) Happy extracting!

      I don’t have a morter and pestle so would I be ale to use a coffee grinder for a course grind?

      Hi Mary!
      You just need to combine the ingredients in a glass jar with a lid and leave the extract in a cool/dark place. The recommendation from the person who gave us the recipe is to switch out the coffee beans twice a month for a richer flavor. Hope this helps!

      I would prefer step by step instructions in words versus pictures

      I’m confused are you using 8 ounces of vanilla that’s already made are you using vanilla beans?
