Kahlua–DIY
2 comments » 
What to do with 2 half bottles of Vodka (besides drink them, of course), why not make your own Kahlua? It’s really simple as can be and it’s such a fun thing to take to a party for a hostess gift or to give to that hard-to-buy-for person. So next time you have extra Vodka laying around (and you don’t want to drink it) try making some homemade Kahlua…
Kahlua-DIY
Ingredients:
3 cups sugar
3 cups strong brewed coffee
3 cups vodka
3 teaspoons vanilla extractDirections:
In a medium saucepan, simmer sugar and coffee, stirring frequently, until the sugar is dissolved-about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool. Add the vodka and the vanilla extract; stir well. Using a funnel, pour the Kahlua into clean glass bottles and refrigerate for 1 week before using.
**White Russian:
2 parts Kahlua
1 part milk or cream
shake with crushed ice and serve
This would be dangerous in my house because it is by far cheaper than the Brand Name one and I would drink it all the time. White Russians are my absolute favorite in the winter (warms your tummy nicely) so I limit them to one when we go out for dinner. I just don’t like them with milk and cream is, well, almost as good as the kahlua. Have you ever tried to make your own Irish Cream?
Have a great weekend Annie. In touch next week, for sure.
