It has coffee involved, if you are a great coffee lover then you will love this for sure.  Normally i soak my dried fruits in rum, but this time i soaked them in a cup of a strong coffee and it gave the fruits a subtle coffee flavour and tasted so delicious. More important it will make your house smell divine.
