Home made Kahlua
1 1/2 0z Dry Instant coffee (3/4 Cup) Note: vanilla coffee
gives it a yummy different flavor.
2 1/4 cup boiling water
Combine ingredients in one medium size saucepan listed above and let
cool.
Second medium size saucepan
6 cups sugar (I usually use the white sugar and the cheap store
brand)
4 cups of water
Mix water and sugar together and boil for five minutes then let cool.
Once everything is cooled you can then combine all the above
ingredients in a deep kettle and add either a fifth of 100 proof
Vodka or a fifth of 190 proof pure grain. Add 1/4 Vanilla extract or
pure vanilla can add more if you prefer a stronger taste.
It is better to use very good pure vanilla in your recipe.
Cheap brands of vanilla extract takes alot more vanilla.
This mix makes three fifths and one pint total of Kahlua.
Use bottles that you collect from family and friends that now save
them so they get a full bottle back.
Boil and sanitize the bottles just to recycle and save money.
You can drink it immediately after it is all mixed but it does taste
better the longer it is aged. Store in a cool dark place and every
once in a while, turn bottles upside down and back again just
to mix it up. Never shake it because you don't want to blow Kahlua
all over the place.
This mixture does tend to thicken slightly over time.
