How to Make COFFEE LIQUEUR - 4K UHD

INGREDIENTS
• 2 thinly sliced orange peels
• 1 vanilla bean, or 15 ml (0.5 oz) vanilla extract
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 120 ml (4 oz) hot espresso (or strong coffee)
• 175 g (2 cups) whole bean coffee (roughly ground)
• 75 g (½ cup) cocoa nibs
• 750 ml (3 cups) rum or vodka (100 proof or higher preferred)
*For a sweeter liqueur, increase the simple syrup to 360 ml (1.5 cups)

DIRECTIONS
1. Add orange peels, vanilla, and cinnamon stick to a resealable glass jar.
2. Pour hot espresso into the jar to release the oil from the orange and infuse the flavors. Mix and set aside.
3. Roughly grind the coffee beans in a molcajete or a food processor (use only a few pulses). A coffee grinder can also be used, but make sure the grind is rough...you are not making coffee.
4. Add the roughly ground coffee beans, cocoa nibs, and rum (or vodka) to the jar with the orange, cinnamon, and vanilla mixture. Stir and seal jar.
5. Store jar in a cool, dark location such as a cupboard for five to fourteen days. Shake daily. Although the mixture will be ready after five days, let it steep for the full fourteen days if you want a more intense coffee flavor.
6. After steeping the desired amount of days, strain the liquid into a pitcher. Use a coffee filter when straining to reduce sediment.
7. Add the simple syrup and stir to blend.
8. Pour the liqueur into a swing top glass bottle or any resealable container.

Your channel deserves more recognition. I have watched over 20 videos on how to make homemade coffee liqueur. In Russian, English and Spanish (which are the languages I can understand). I did not like all the ones I saw in Russian, they look very simple (at first glance), therefore I do not trust the result. And I liked most of them in Spanish, but none like this one, thank you very much.

I’ve just made this with dark rum, let it sit for 8 days and rum is the dominant taste. I’m going to add more espresso to see if that helps. I’ve got another one brewing with vodka so it’ll be interesting to see the difference. It’s been very enjoyable!!

[Jane-msky]

This is the best homemade coffee liqueur so far 💕☕️

[stylishbartender]

Is it works in b-52 shooter and layering cocktails?

[jolioding_]

It would not be as cheap but i think irish or scotch ilay whiskey would be very interesting too. Or you just substitute 250ml of the 750ml rum/vodka for the favourable spirit.

Hello, thanks for the recipe! Is it normal for the mixture to produce bubbles? I left it in a cupboard over night and it looks like it's carbonating.

I think this is stronger than Kahlúa, right? How can i make the syrup? What is that exactly?

[aritranaruto]

I don't have a air tight container. Is it okay if I open and stir the admixture everyday?

[edgardriba]

Hi! Thanks for the video. Where I live I can’t find cocoa nibs… could I use dark chocolate? Or Hershey’s cocoa powder?

[Theillusionable]

excellent video! Running to make some liqueur now!

[srrvopo]

How do I store it? (Fridge, freezer)
How long will it last?

[samurachi]

How much extraction are you getting? I know when I put coffee in a beer, the extraction is so high I pull vegetable flavors out of it when sitting over 30 hours. Do you get those notes in this?

[jatanshah]

Can I use raw cacao powder? It’s hard to get hold of cocoa nibs. Thanks!

[hiernymus]

Hello. Thank you for the video, I will try making.
I have a few questions.
Is there a difference between adding sugar before and after letting sit?
Is letting sit longer going to make a stronger taste?
Do you know how much alkohol % will result from proof being used? Like using 40% will be 28% in product or primasprit 95%.

Thank you

Can i avoid the simple syrup and use with rum only

[chandradityaprakoso]

Can I use cold brew instead of espresso? If no, why? If yes, how much do I use?

[kaefersammler]

Awesome liquer, love it - just making my second batch!

One question: Which filter do you use? I used a conventional coffee filter + filter paper however the filter paper clogged every time very fast so it was a very messy fill into filter, wait until clogged, fill back and replqce paper filter…

[yingsawadthanasuwankasem]

Can I use cold brew concentrate instead of hot espresso?

[donnhuff]

I have to try. Would I be able to substitute with tequila?

[LALopezWei]

I do not have an espresso machine. So how many oz should I use, if I'm using regular coffee?
