Time to make 7 hours

Equipment

  • Fork
  • Small bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Metal spatula
  • Spoon to stir
  • Mason jar

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 2 shots espresso
  • 1 & ½ tbsp instant coffee
  • 1 & ½ tbsp water

Instructions
 

  • Brew the espresso.
  • Add sugar, espresso, and instant coffee to the bowl. Use a fork to stir all ingredients together until combined.
  • Add water and stir until combined.
  • Pour the mixture on top of a baking sheet. Press the sugar mixture with a spatula to create a firmly-packed rectangle.
  • Dry the batch in the sun until it is set and partially hardens. This should take half a day. Ensure it’s shielded from the elements.
