1 Gallon Batch
Boil 2 qt water, add 7 c sugar
Boil slowly for 30 minutes
Combine 1 c above with 1 cup of instant coffee
Stir into rest of ingredients
Cool
Place into 1 gallon jug
Split 2 vanilla beans and put in jug
Add 2 qt 100 proof alcohol
Cure for 2 weeks
Doctor's suggestions:
she uses decaf coffee
If you use pure vanilla, experiment with the amount, but at least 1/4 c per gallon-then it doesn't need to cure for 2 weeks (Charlie taught her that/plus he thought beans were too expensive :-) )
She uses regular vodka and adds it last. you may not use the whole qt
These 2 things seem to make it taste smoother
