So here I go again. This time I bought a less roasted coffee and had it ground for a cafettire.
I bought 500g of 100% Arabic grown in the Ocotepeque region of Honduras, by the Cocafelol Co-operative
I poured about quarter to a third in a 700ml bottle and topped it up with white rum from Paraquay
I only let it sit, with a few shakes for 4 to 5, at .most six hours and decanted. The decant left me with some 400ml plus which I put in a 500ml bottle and then topped that with Rapadura sugar and a little vanilla essence.
So the liquer is around 32% alcohol max and tastes like it. Very drinkable. Started in the late afternoon, drinking by 9pm
The four ingredients, Rum, Sugar, Coffee and Vanilla are all FairTrade and Organic
Third attempt on 2nd Jan 2021,
Used Paraguayan Reserve rum @ 46%
The first time I made strong coffee so the end product is approx 23%
The second was made without reading this post and ground beans soaked for about 18 hours in the rum - far too long. The end product is about 32% and I used a lot of maple syrup as well as rapadura
