Taters Kahlua

[punkin]

Tater, i've been enjoying your Kahlua (one of my favourite drinks on an ice cube every blue moon) for nearly twelve months now, everyone who has tried some aged stuff has absolutely loved it and i had to go searching back through threads to find the recipe again last week.

Kahlua style Coffee Liqueur (using real coffee)
o 2 cups ground coffee beans (medium roast pure arabica beans - Blue Mountain style would be appropriate)
o 3 cups boiling water
o 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
o 1/2 cup light brown sugar
o 3 cups pure alcohol (40%abv)
o 1 vanilla bean or 1 tsp. vanilla extract
o 1 tsp. glycerin
Combine boiling water and ground coffee, strain through sieve filter - basically a filtered coffee (or make it using a coffee pluger). Combine coffee and sugars, in a saucepan and heat for 5 minutes, but do not boil. Allow to cool. Stir in alcohol, vanilla, glycerin. You could try a short cut version with 10 tsp. of premium instant coffee powder (1/2 cup).

If you would care to repost the recipe in the Tried and True, i believe it's truely earned a place there, it'll make it easier to find too

Anyone who likes this style of a drink is well advised to try it with real coffee (i use 1-1/2 cups of beans and slightly less sugar) , but be advised that it does need aging in the fridge or cupboard and is not for drinking the next week.
