Homemade Kahlua is just super simple to make, and very inexpensive ~ use the cheapest vodka you can find, plus cheap instant coffee. The most expensive item is pure vanilla extract! Get some pretty bottles at The Dollar Store, and give them as gifts. * It's never too early to start making this for Holiday gifts ~ start them now before you get totally overwhelmed later in the year! **
Cheap & Easy HOMEMADE COFFEE LIQUEUR (i.e. Kahlua)
2 cups cheap plain vodka........................................2 cups water (distilled or purified)
1-1/2 TB pure vanilla extract...................................2 TB cheap instant coffee
1 cup dark brown sugar............................................1/2 cup granulated sugar
***
Combine the water, instant coffee and sugars in a large saucepan. Bring to a high simmer (but don't let it boil) ~ then reduce to a slow simmer, and let it go for about an hour.
Remove from heat and let it cool completely. Then whisk in the vodka and vanilla extract. Transfer to bottles or jars ~ store in a cool, dark place for about 3 weeks to let the flavors deepen.
