For a richer, more complex flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder during the simmering process. Adjust the amount of vanilla extract to your preference. Some people prefer a more pronounced vanilla flavor. The liqueur will continue to mellow and improve with age. Store in a cool, dark place for at least two weeks before serving for optimal flavor. Experiment with different types of instant coffee to create your own signature blend. A robusta blend will provide a bolder, more intense coffee flavor. Sterilizing the bottles is crucial for long-term storage. Submerge the bottles and lids in boiling water for 10 minutes, then allow them to air dry completely before filling.
