Ingredients
 

  • ½ cup dark roast ground coffee
  • 2 ½ cups of water
  • ¾ cups sugar or to your taste
  • 1 cup aguardiente
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Place the coffee and 2 cups of the water in a jar or a pitcher, stir well. Cover and let sit at room temperature for at least 12 hours and up to 1 day. Strain through a coffee filter or strainer into a bowl working in batches.
