12 cups water
4 cups sugar
1oz PURE vanilla extract...not imitation
4 heaping tbls. folgers crystals
1/5th coffee flavored brandi
1/5 everclear 190

In a large pot, combine water, sugar and coffee. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring frequently. Make sure all sugar has dissolved. Let cool completely (and I mean completely)!

Add vanilla and both the brandy and the Everclear. Stir and bottle. Although you can drink right away. It's best to let it age a little. And the longer the better! ENJOY!
