Instructions

In a medium pot add the coffee, milk, cream and sugar, heat on medium stirring until the sugar has dissolved, and the mixture is very hot, but do not boil. Remove from heat and pour into a clean bowl and let cool completely.
Once the mixture is completely cool, stir in the vodka. Pour into a sterilized bottle with a tight fitting lid and refrigerate 2 days before consuming. Shake well before serving. Enjoy.

Notes

What Is Proof Grain Alcohol?

It is a pure grain alcohol that is distilled from a grain-based mash to a very high level of ethanol content. Italians use an alcohol called Alcool 95 which would be the equivalent to Everclear, I don’t like it because I find the alcohol content too strong, I prefer a good quality vodka.

How to Store Coffee Cream Liqueur

Any cream Liqueur should be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight bottle or container. It will last up to 2 weeks. Shake well before serving. If you love really cold liqueurs, you can also store the bottle in the freezer, make sure the bottle is freezer safe.
