Homemade Kahlua
An Original Recipe by Lorraine Elliott
Preparation time: 5 minutes plus 1 week steeping
Cooking time: 0 minutes
Serves: makes 1 litre/4 cups Kahlua
- 1 cup/250ml/8.8flozs hot freshly brewed espresso coffee
-
2 cups/440g/15.5ozs. brown sugar
-
1 cup/250ml/8.8flozs rum (I used Malibu)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Step 1 - Whisk the coffee and brown sugar together in a large jug. Add the rum and vanilla bean and stir. Cover and allow to steep for 1 week.
Note: If you try it straight away it won't taste great (it tastes like artificial sweetener to me) but the flavours settle after a week.
