Coffee

 Our little household is making Mother’s Day gifts. Paul, ten, made up several batches of vanilla extract.  Next up is homemade coffee extract. I have no idea how long to soak the coffee in vodka.  One week?  One month?  Experiment.  I want to see if a little coffee extract boosts the chocolate flavor in brownies.   Like vanilla, coffee is a popular chemistry topic.  Here and here are Chemmatters articles about coffee as a brain booster.  Yes, coffee is science.
