Recipe ingredients and directions:
I’ve recently gotten requests for a couple of home-made liqueurs that may
interest some of your other readers.
KAHLUA (makes about 58 oz./1.8 quarts):
In large container, combine:
2 cups boiling water
3 cups sugar
2 oz. instant coffee
Dissolve coffee in boiling water, add sugar and stir until sugar is
dissolved – set aside to cool. Add
2 cups brandy
to cool liquid (if still hot, the alcohol will vaporize) and add
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pour into bottles; add label, give as gift or drink as needed.
IRISH CREAM Recipe (36 oz./slightly more than a quart):
Combine in blender:
1 cup light cream
14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk (OK to use low-fat)
1-2/3 cups whiskey
1 teaspoon instant coffee
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
Blend on high speed for 30 seconds, bottle tightly and refrigerate (will
keep for two months if cool).
