Liquore di Caffe della Nonna (Grandma’s Coffee Liqueur)
From Tom in Jordan

1. Make a cup of very strong espresso with a stove-top macchina – stove-top coffee maker (of course).
    

2. When it is done, pour the coffee into a measuring cup.
    

3. Clean la macchina and re-pack it with espresso and ready it for another pot of coffee
   BUT, do not use water the second time, use the coffee from the previous pot thereby making it very, very strong -- too strong to drink.
    

4. Pour into 50%/50% alcohol and water (pure alcohol is too strong to drink but diluted with water is a good base for liquore (I don't know if you can get pure alcohol in California but it is sold in Europe). Or use vodka and sweeten to taste.

Note from Tom: This is a very basic recipe -- quella della Nonna. Must be a Pugliese recipe.
