What an amazing recipe! I love making liqueurs, and my usual recipe for coffee liqueur involves steeping coffee beans in the alcohol for weeks and weeks to get the proper strength. This method took me a whole 10 minutes to put together! The flavor is just as good as if I had done the bean steep. I bottled half the stuff as is, and then mixed the other half with a milk/sugar syrup for a creamy liqueur. I'm going to be using this recipe from now on, thanks!
