INGREDIENTS:
2 cups water
1/4 cup instant coffee
2 cups sugar
2 split vanilla beans

1 tbs. finishing formula

Mix coffee and water in saucepan and bring to simmer. Add sugar and vanilla and allow to simmer for about 4 or 5 minutes. Allow to cool and add rum and finishing formula. Age for a month or so and enjoy.

Another coffee liqueur similar to Kahlua, yet distinctive.

Note: Finishing formula is glycerin. It is a thickening agent and does nothing for the taste. It does, however, make a rich and aesthetically pleasing drink.
