In the last few weeks I have posted my recipe for Homemade Amaretto and Homemade Bailey’s Irish Cream. Just to round it out I figured I better also put up my recipe for Homemade Kahlua.
This recipe came from our good friend from Army days-Randy. He would have all our friends save their dark glass bottles from beer and wine and then make big batches of this to give to friends.
This would make a great frugal gift for the holidays. You could keep a couple of small bottles on hand for hostess gifts or last minute presents. I think they are especially attractive if you dip the head in melted wax. . . very classy.
Big Dog Kahlua
2 C Sugar
2 C Water
3 TBS Instant Coffee (pick something that tastes decent!)
1 Vanilla Bean or 1 TBS Vanilla Extract (preferably real)
2 C Vodka
-Mix water, sugar and instant coffee.
-Simmer until sugar is dissolved.
-Cool completely.
-Stir in in Vanilla and Vodka and pour into a dark bottle to age.
