How to Make It

  1. Combine the water, sugar, and instant coffee in a large saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook gently for 1 hour to dissolve the sugar and concentrate the flavors.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool completely.
  4. Stir in the vodka and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
  5. Transfer the liquid into a clean, sealable jar or bottle.
