Ingredients
1 1 liquor bottle w/top
Directions
2 c 80 proof Vodka
2 c Water
1 1/4 c Granulated sugar
1 1/2 TB Vanilla extract
1 1/2 TB Instant coffee
Combine all of the ingredients in a saucepan. Cover
and cook over medium heat, tirring occasionally, until
the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove the mixture
from the heat and let it cool. BE Sure to keep it
covered. Store in any empty 750 ml liquor bottle with
a screw top or another bottle with a resealable lid.
It is very important that you use a covered saucepan
when making this drink. The alcohol will boil away if
the solution is not covered when it gets hot. Also
the longer this drink is bottled and stored in a dark,
cool, place the better it will taste. For the bet
flavor, store it for at least 30 days before drinking.
Probably the hardest part of making this simple
receipe is not drinking it before it matures.

The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of meal recipes back into distant history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel exhilarated. Later, there are two interesting cookery books from the 1300s : a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, they are not about the indian food that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the tables of the upper classes. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs was responsible for a torrent in recipe publications, the majority of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. For the centuries that followed, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve the best banquets, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, trying out, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the time we get to the 20th century, recipe publications are increasing in popularity due to better eduction, more spare time and having more disposable income. The introduction of the TV brought us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
