Homemade Kahlua
Guys, this recipe is good. I mean really good.
I was gifted a delicious bottle of homemade Kahlua last year, and ever since I’ve been meaning to learn how to make this sweet & cinnamony coffee-flavored liqueur.

Makes about 64oz, or enough to fill four of the 16oz bottles that I shared yesterday. For my own gifts this year, I doubled this recipe to create eight 16oz bottles.

I used the end of a wooden spoon to help mix all together.

Then seal and store your bottles in a dark place, shaking ingredients 1-2 times a week for 2-3 weeks. The longer they sit, the more delicious they get!
When they emerge, they should be a beautiful amber color.
You could strain out the coffee beans, cinnamon stick, vanilla and orange for a pure liquid:
But I actually liked the look of some of the whole ingredients left in the bottle (plus it will continue to marinate in the cupboard of your giftee). And the
