Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 2 Inch Vanilla Bean
3 3/4 Cups Sugar
7 Tbsp Instant Coffee -- Or
6 Tbsp Freeze-Dried Coffee
1 Fifth Vodka
2 Tsp Glycerine
Caramel Coloring -- Optional

Cut the vanilla bean in two or three pieces. Add the sugar and 2 cups of
water in a saucepan. Boil for 30 minutes and then let cool. Dissolve the
instant coffee in 1/4 cup of boiling water. In a large jar, mix the
coffee, the cooled sugar-vanilla solution, vodka and glycerine. if a
darker color is desired, add some caramel coloring. Seal and shake well.
Let stand for two weeks. You may want to decant the clear liquid or run
through cheesecloth to get rid of the vanilla particles. I never do.

This is very good.
