Ingredients for Vanilla Coffee Recipe
Vanilla Coffee Serves: 3
3 cups of water
1/4 cup of instant coffee
2 Tablespoons of packed brown sugar
1/2 Tablespoon imitation vanilla or few drops of pure vanilla extract
Vanilla Flavored Coffee Preparation
To make vanilla coffee the old fashioned way we will be making it on the stove top. Start by measuring out three cups of water into the saucepan. Add 2 tablespoons of packed brown sugar to the water followed by a 1/4 cup of instant coffee.
Place on the stove top and begin to heat the ingredients. A good tasting cup of vanilla coffee should reach an optimum brewing temperature around 200 F. An electronic thermometer is a handy little device to have in the kitchen. If you don’t have a thermometer just remove the saucepan from the heat before the coffee reaches boiling point.
Add a 1/2 tablespoon of vanilla to the coffee and stir it thoroughly so ingredients combine to make vanilla coffee. Pour the coffee into 3 cups, serve and enjoy your vanilla coffee made the old fashioned way.
* If you’re using pure vanilla extract in your vanilla coffee it’s always a good idea to add one drop of vanilla at a time, stir and taste until you’ve reached the desired flavor.
