Ingredients

- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp dark brown sugar
- 15 ml bourbon
- 12 slices thick-cut streaky bacon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 160°C.
- Mix together espresso, maple syrup, sugar and bourbon, until the sugar dissolves.
- Lay out bacon. Using a pastry brush, brush both sides of bacon with the coffee glaze.
- Bake, basting every 5 minutes for 15-20 minutes. When removed from the oven, bacon will be soft but will harden upon cooling. Use as a garnish for drinks or savoury dishes.
