Kahlua

[pothead]

Kahlua
1.5 cups brown sugar
1 cup regular granulated sugar
1/2 cup instant coffee
3 cups neutral spirit
2 tsp pure vanilla extract, or 1/2 vanilla bean

combine sugars in just enough water to melt ingredients together and heat 5 minutes. Gradually add coffee using a whisk until blended, then cool. Pour into bottle, add spirit and vanilla. Age 2 weeks, remove bean if used. Makes 1 liter.

I try to keep the finished product between 80-100 proof.

I personally like putting some crushed ice in a highball glass, and mixing this stuff 50/50 with whole milk. Tastes like an Iced Cappucino.

I can't remember where I got this recipe, But it has been my favorite winter drink for 2 years.
