Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally until the sugar and coffee are completely dissolved.

Pour the cooled coffee syrup into a large bowl or pitcher and stir in the vodka and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Transfer the mixture into clean, sterilized bottles or jars, ensuring they are airtight.

Seal the bottles and store them in a cool, dark place for at least 4 weeks to allow the flavors to infuse and mellow.
