Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Espresso or strong brewed coffee
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or monk fruit)
- 1.5 tablespoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Vodka
- 0.5 teaspoons Pure caramel extract (optional, for additional flavor depth)
Instructions
Brew 2 cups of strong coffee or espresso and let it cool to room temperature. Use decaf if you prefer a non-caffeinated version.
In a medium saucepan, combine cooled coffee and the granulated sugar substitute. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar substitute fully dissolves. This should take about 5–7 minutes. Avoid boiling the mixture.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool for 10–15 minutes.
Once the coffee mixture has cooled, stir in the vanilla extract, vodka, and caramel extract (if using). Mix thoroughly to combine all flavors evenly.
Transfer the mixture to a clean, sterilized glass bottle or jar with a tight-sealing lid.
Store the homemade Kahlua in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks to allow the flavors to meld and develop fully. Shake the bottle gently every few days during this period.
After 2 weeks, your sugar-free homemade Kahlua is ready to enjoy. Keep it stored in the refrigerator or at room temperature for up to 6 months. Serve in cocktails, over ice cream, or enjoy it on its own!
