2 cup granulated sugar
 1 cup packed brown sugar
 2 cup distilled water
 10 Tbsp instant coffee 
 1 vanilla bean, split
 3 cup Vodka (preferrably 100 proof, but 40 proof is fine)
 3 tsp vanilla extract
 Combine sugars, water and instant coffee in a large saucepan and
 bring to a boil. Reduce heat and sommer 45 minutes to 1 hour. It
 will seem thick. Remove from heat. Add split vanilla bean to mixture
 and cool completely.  Add vodka and vanilla extract. Pour into an
 aging container (with bean) and age 1 month. Feel free to strain
 and pour into clean containers.
