Separately, dissolve the instant coffee in the boiling water.

Allow the two individual mixtures to cool. When cooled, mix the syrup and the coffee in a GLASS gallon jug or container.

Add the vodka, brandy, vanilla bean, and a few drops of the mocha extract.

Let the whole thing sit for 3 weeks, making sure that the jug/container is properly covered.

Shake every 3 days.
