Homemade Kahlua in 20 Minutes or Less
MAKE IT SHINE!
ADD YOUR PHOTO
I've been making this for a long time now. It's closer to Kamora than Kahlua but for the time and cost, give it a try at least once. I think you'll be very surprised at how good it is! Sept. 2014: I discovered Kahlua is rum based so, try substituting rum for the vodka. I also realized brown sugar was white sugar with molasses added, so I now use 1 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon molasses.

ingredients
- 3 cups fresh brewed strong coffee
- 1 cup brown sugar, or
- 1 cup sugar, and
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup of a clean tasting vodka
directions
- Brew up 3 cups of your favorite coffee, make it strong, preferably in a standard drip coffee maker.
- Remove from the coffee maker and add the brown sugar (or sugar/molasses combo) right in the coffee pot. It will dissolve quicker while the coffee is hot, of course. Once the sugar is dissolved, throw in a couple of ice cubes to cool it down quicker.
- Finally, add the vanilla and vodka.
- That's all there is to it. Use immediately or let it set a while. You'll have enough to fill a 750 ml bottle.
