Notes
- These will be kept on your counter in a sealed container for 2-3 days or frozen, well-sealed, for up to a month.
- Don't use hot coffee. Lukewarm is perfect. Ideally, you want a cafe au lait type mixture.
- If your glaze is too thick, add just a tiny splash of coffee to thin it. A little goes a long way.
