Homemade Kahlua

I recently bought a coffee maker and have been wanting to use it for something other than heating up water for hot chocolate. 

I have a friend that always had a batch of homemade Kahlua on hand to make an easy drink for whenever. So I took to the internet to find a recipe for Kahlua and couldn't find one that sounded any good. Most recipes I found called for instant coffee. One I saw said to just stir coffee beans in with vodka and sugar. What? How could that one be any good. 

I finally just had to ask my friend for her recipe, and I'm so glad that I did. 

What you will need: 
Coffee (regular brewed coffee) 
Vodka 
Sugar 
Vanilla 

After the coffee has cooled, just mix equal parts of coffee, vodka, sugar (use a little less sugar if you don't like it as sweet is fine) and a splash of vanilla. It's that simple! 

Then just pour into an empty bottle and keep on hand for anytime!

Kahlua is a great drink mixer to have on hand. While I'm writing this post I'm enjoying a nice glass of White Russian. It is so easy to make, just add 3 to 4 oz. of Kahlua to a glass of milk! 

Now for this project I didn't need my mother's help with because it's easy even I could figure it out.

Hope you enjoy, I know I will!
