Notes

For coffee, add whole coffee beans to secondary for 24 hours before bottling.

For vanilla beans, slice open 1 vanilla bean pod, spread open and scrape seeds/innards with a butter knife into 2 oz. vodka. Let stand 2 weeks, then strain through a coffee filter into the secondary fermenter. This recipe only calls for 1 oz., so save the other half for another brew!
