Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Strong brewed coffee
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Vodka
Instructions
Brew 4 cups of strong coffee using your preferred method. Allow the coffee to cool slightly.
In a large saucepan, combine the brewed coffee, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugars have dissolved completely. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Once dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Stir in vanilla extract and vodka, mixing until well combined.
Pour the liqueur into clean glass bottles or jars with tight-sealing lids. Store in a cool, dark place.
For best flavor, let the Kahlua rest for 2-4 weeks before consuming, shaking the bottles gently every few days to mix the flavors.
Serve over ice, mix into cocktails, or drizzle over desserts. Enjoy!
