Roughly smash the coffee beans with pestle and mortar. If using a grinder/food processor just pulse, you don't want to grind the coffee just break up the beans
Place coffee beans in clean jar and add lemon zest, vodka and rum
pop on the lid, shake well and set aside for a week in dark cupboard
strain through 2 layers of muslin/kitchen roll
make coffee syrup by boiling the espresso with the sugar for 5 mins till thickens, allow to cool then add to the coffee vodka
pour the finished liqueur into a sterilised bottle and seal. It will keep for up to a year.
Notes
Use this as a liqueur, as part of a cocktail and for the most amazing bakes and desserts too.
