Directions:
In a small bowl or jigger melt the coffee in the Tablespoon of vanilla. Stir with a toothpick to insure it all gets melted. Set to the side.

Beat the butter, using a mixer, several minutes until it gets fluffy. Gradually add 3 C powder sugar and turn mixer up and beat 3-4 minutes more. Now add the salt and vanilla/espresso mixture and mix some more and lastly add milk 2 tbsp at a time. Checking for consistency. If the icing is too thin, add more sugar if too thick add more milk.

Personal Notes:
After eating a piece of espresso cake at a all you can eat buffet, I came home and tried to make it myself. This is close and one of Hanna's favs.
