1 1/2 cups instant coffee crystals, crushed to a powder
1/3 cup liquid smoke (about 5 tbsp.)
1 (12 oz.) jar Grandma's robust molasses (dark green label)

Crush coffee crystals in a folded piece of parchment paper to as fine a powder as possible. This ensures easy dissolving when the liquid smoke is added.

Gradually add the liquid smoke to the powdered coffee until a thick syrup consistency is achieved.

Into another medium glass bowl, pour out the entire jar of molasses. Add the coffee-liquid smoke mixture and blend well.

Note: For a smokier flavor, add two extra tablespoons of liquid smoke (if desired).

Store the finished mixture into a clean, sterilized clear or if desired, a dark brown glass jar, and securely screw the lid on, but not too tight.

GLASS BOTTLE STORAGE:

If storing in a glass bottle, make sure it has a wide mouth, since this sauce is thick. The bottle too can be dark brown, if desired.
