Homemade Kahlua

who wouldn't want this in their stocking?

Homemade Kahlua.

It smells DIVINE.

I made this years ago, and decided it was time to make up another batch to share with all of you!

It's a perfect handmade gift, to give those who like a little "toot" 

now and then (as my Mother-in-law would say....)

Save empty bottles, or find cool ones like this from Trader Joe's, that had beer in it!

Homemade Kahlua

6 cups sugar

6 cups water

3/4 cup instant coffee

2 cups water

3 Tablespoons vanilla

1 quart vodka

Dissolve sugar in 6 cups water in a saucepan on the stove.  Bring to a boil and boil for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Combine coffee in 2 cups water, add to boiled sugar mixture.

Cool.

Add vanilla and vodka.

Pour into a gallon sized container, even a milk jug works!! :) 

Age for one week on your counter.

(it doesn't need to be refrigerated)

Put into pretty bottles and make up your own tags!!

Be the hit of the party!
