Description:
Very easy to make liquor. You can make two bottles for less than one bottle of store bought Kahlua.

I made two bottles today.
Other: Ingredients:
Time:
1 hr
Difficulty:
Easy
Serving Size:
N/A
  1. 2 cups white sugar
  2. 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  3. 2 oz (1/4 cup) instant coffee (not freeze dry)
  4. 2 cups water
  5. 2 sticks cinnamon
  6. 2 whole vanilla beans
  7. 1 qt cheap vodka
  8. 2 dark bottles with caps
Preparation:
  1. Clean and sterilize two dark glass bottles. I used a couple of Butterscotch Schnapps bottles. Soak in soapy water to loosen the labels then wash off all the glue. Tripple rinse the bottles and fill with boiling water. Wash the caps too.
Instructions:
  1. Put both sugars, coffee and water in saucepan.
  2. Stir over medium high heat till all sugar is dissolved.
  3. Add both cinnamon sticks to the pot
  4. split both vanilla beans lengthwise and add to the pot after scraping out the beans into the liquid.
  5. Remove from heat and let come to room temp. Keep stirring occasionally.
  6. Divide cheap vodka into two dark bottles.
  7. Place one vanilla bean from the pot and one cinnamon stick from the pot into each bottle.
  8. Top off each bottle with coffee and sugar water leaving a couple inches in the neck.
  9. Cap bottles and place in cool dark cabinet for at least a month giving bottles a little shake every day or so.
  10. Best if allowed to sit at least 4-6 months. The longer it ages the smoother it gets.

Re: Homemade Kahlua

I'm going to try this out. I have always been interested in brewing some beer, making some wine so this will be my first experiment in alcohol making. Hopefully I will not blow up the house.

On another note, has someone ever made vodka? A friend of mine back in the day used to try some concoction of boiling taters and something else. I was petrified he was going to blow the house up.

Good vodka comes from the filtering process the more times it is filtered the smoother it becomes otherwise you have nothing but moonshine.

Try the Lemoncello, Orangecello, Kaluah and I have recipes for Irish Cream, Galliano, Cherry bounce, Cherry bombs, jello shots and other things you can do with alcohol in your own kitchen.

Re: Homemade Kahlua

Bump to the top. This years batch of Kahlua is almost sinful. The addition of cinnamon sticks took this to a new level. Talk about good in Egg Nog!!!! It makes a good drink with plain milk or buzzed up in the blender with a scoop of ice cream.
