Ok, I received for Xmas this year a bottle of home-made "Kahlua" from a friend. I decided to search the 'net to see how easy it is (since my best friend's favorite drink is a white russian), and found its REALLY REALLY easy to make kahlua-like liquor, for a fraction of the cost.
Now, with the easily 100 recipes I've seen in the last two hours, I find myself in the position of wanting to try all 100 of them, however, it would be FAR too costly in money and liver health to go to those lengths.
That all being said, does anyone have a good coffee-liquor recipe that's a tried-and-true recipe? I've seen so many, I'm really thinking of cobbling together my own recipe.. if there's any 'experts' in making kahlua, could they give me input on how this recipe might fare?
12 'cup' pot Brit coffee (not c.) brewed with a bit of mace and cocoa
4c white sugar
1c brown sugar
simmer to thread stage
partially cool
mix 1Tbsp vanilla extract into 1qt vodka
wisk syrup and liquid togethor
bottle and age 2 weeks or more
As a note, since I doubt a lot of people know British coffee... British coffee is similar to 'American' style but brewed VERY VERY strong. Think full-pot left on the burner half the day, but the acid isn't yet broken down so its strong, but not rancid.
