California Farm Coffee Grounds Liqueur

We roast and grind our own coffee beans, one tablespoon a day. The leftover coffee grounds, 25 grams a day, make a wonderful liqueur. Here is how we do that. You can process your own ground coffee the same way if yours is also organic and does not contain preservatives, fillers, or salt or additives.
We use cooking rum to finish this coffee liqueur. For some reason, this after dinner drink will keep you awake, plan your evenings and parties wisely.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
