HOMEMADE "BREWED" COFFEE KAHLUA

Steps:

• 1. Brew a pot of strong, good quality coffee to get that rich Kahlua flavor. it should be strong because a weak coffee won't transport the flavors into the final product. Once brewed, prepare to use the coffee immediately.
• 2. Once the pot is done, transfer it over to a large bowl. Add 4 cups of sugar and 1 Tablespoon of cocoa powder to the fresh, hot coffee and stir until dissolved.
• 3. Let the coffee mixture cool to room temperature. Once the sugar and cocoa has dissolved and the coffee has cooled, add the vodka stirring to combine. Pour the mixture into bottles.
• 4. Cut the vanilla bean into 3rds and drop one piece into each bottle. Put cap on. Your Kahlua is made. At this point you may add a cinnamon stick or orange peel if you like. This will give it a more dynamic flavor.
• 5. Store in a cool, dry place for 2-3 weeks. The vanilla needs this much time to infuse and the flavors need to settle into the coffee to give it that rich, liqueur flavor.
• 6. Once the time is up, strain it beforehand and then rebottle. Label and store in basement, cellar, or inside a closed box.

HOMEMADE KAHLUA RECIPE RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• 1. Using a large pot, dissolve sugar into water over medium high heat. 2. Add instant coffee granules and bring mixture to boil. 3. Reduce heat to simmer. 4. Stir every 10-15 minutes as needed for 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Mixture will be reduced to a liquid syrup. You may need to stir more frequently right at the end. 5. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes. 6. Stir in vanilla and allow to cool another 15 - 30 minutes. 7. Stir in vodka. Note: No worries if mixture has crystallized a little, the vodka will break it back down as long is it is still partial liquid. If you allow it to cool too long it will harden too much. If this happens, simply reheat the syrup and add vodka when it's somewhat cooled down but not hard. 8. For gift giving, pour your homemade liqueur into pretty bottles and keep out of direct light by using brown or green glass or by wrapping in a cloth. Optional: A vanilla bean in the bottle can add a classy and flavorful touch. For more vanilla flavor, cut vanilla bean in half lengthwise. Tip: This liqueur tastes best when left in a cool dark place for a couple weeks or even better... months. It also gets smoother with age. It can be kept in the fridge but does not have to be.

HOMEMADE KAHLUA RECIPE

Steps:

• Divide ground coffee into four equal parts. Put 1/4 pound of coffee into a filter set in a filter cone over a carafe or other large vessel. Slowly moisten grounds with boiling water. Pour remainder of the two cups of water through the grounds. Let all of the water drip through. Throw out the filter and wet grounds. Fill another filter with 1/4 pound of coffee and place in cone over another vessel. (Placing the cone in a colander set over a large glass measuring cup works well). Pour the previously brewed coffee over the fresh grounds. Follow with two cups of boiling water. (Pouring the brewed coffee through the grounds increases the coffee flavor.) Repeat this process two more times until all of the coffee is gone. You want to have 7 cups of brewed espresso. Pour the brewed espresso into a heavy, four-quart saucepan. Add the scraped vanilla beans and the pods, along with the honey and sugar. Stir the mixture over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer covered for 20 minutes. Simmer uncovered for another 25 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely to room temperature, about two hours. When the mixture is cool, pour in the vodka or Everclear. Pour the coffee liqueur into clean bottles. Yield: About 3/4 gallon
