For optimal flavor development, let the liqueur rest in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks before enjoying. The flavor will continue to mellow and deepen over time. (14 days)
Use high-quality vodka for the best flavor.
Adjust the amount of coffee powder to your preference. For a stronger coffee flavor, add an extra tablespoon.
A pinch of salt can enhance the sweetness and balance the flavors.
For a richer, more complex flavor, consider adding a cinnamon stick or a few star anise during the cooling process. Remove before bottling.
Store in a cool, dark place for optimal shelf life and flavor preservation.
