/
What a great use for leftover coffee grounds! This is a super delicious liqueur, perfect for after dinner! Recipe was shared by @goldenbrown.coffee on instagram.
Makes 1 small bottle
Ingredients (when in italics available from the van)
250g leftover coffee grounds
250g dememera sugar (approx 75p)
250ml boiling water
250ml vodka or run
Total cost from Incredible Bulk approx £0.75
Method
Gather your leftover coffee grounds and place them in a bowl. Add your demerara sugar, mix well, cover with tea towel and leave at room temperature for 24 hours. You should find your sugar has dissolved and you have a sweet coffee liquid mix. Add your boiling water, give a good stir and then strain through a muslin cloth to remove the coffee grounds. Add to your bottle and add your chosen alcohol. Store in fridge, should be good for a couple of months!
Zero Waste Tips
Depending on how much coffee you drink you can collect your leftover ground coffee over a couple of days, simply store in a jar in the fridge until you have collected enough for your recipe.
Spent coffee grounds can go into compost or use to make a body scrub!
