Homemade coffee liqueur
Description
Coffee liqueur can be stored for a long time in the refrigerator, but it should be aged for 2 weeks in a dark, cool place so the drink can fully absorb all the flavor notes. The liqueur's strength is usually around 13-15%, making it a favorite among women, especially when paired with sweets. Serve chilled.
