Use high-quality vodka for the best flavor. Adjust the amount of coffee powder to your preference. For a stronger coffee flavor, add an extra tablespoon. A pinch of salt can enhance the sweetness and balance the flavors. For a richer, more complex flavor, consider adding a cinnamon stick or a few star anise during the cooling process. Remove before bottling. Store in a cool, dark place for optimal shelf life and flavor preservation.
