Home Made Kahlua

images (1)

Did y’all know you can make your own Kahlua?  My mom used to love Kahlua and cream drinks.  Heck, I think she still does.  So instead of going out and buying Kahlua, make your own.  It is so simple.  In fact, make yourself a batch while your making my home made vanilla  and you’ll have two treats ready in just a short time.

 

Ingredients

  • 1 (750 ml) bottle vodka or white rum
  • 1  1/4 cups dark rum 
  • 1  1/2 cups sugar
  • 3/4 pound whole coffee beans
  • 1 vanilla bean

Directions

  1. Combine all of the ingredients in a sealable container. Shake hard to combine.
  2. Label with the date and let sit in a cool, dark place for at least 2 months. Shake the mixture several times of week.
  3. When 2 months has passed, strain your Kahlua through a cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer into a clean bottle or jar.
  4. Use like you would Kahlua or any other coffee liquor.

  1. Hi Greg-

    I was looking for a simple Kahlua recipe made with whole beans rather than instant coffee. I’m going to try this, along with your vanilla extract recipe.

    I do have a question though. In your ingredients listed, do you mean one and one fourth cups rum OR one fourth cup? And do you mean one and a half cups sugar or one half cup sugar?

    Thanks so much for sharing :o)
