My Mum has always had a problem with caffien and she loves Kahlua! Kahluha is LOADED with caffiene and the old recipe for Kahluha calls for resting vanilla beans for days etc....so I can up with the Parsimonius Version!
In a 12 cup drip coffee-maker"
8 scoops of coffee(high-test or decaf)
12 cups of water
let it brew
While the strong coffee is being brewed:
in a dutch oven,place 6 cups of sugar
1 good splash (at least a tbls) of vanilla Extract
add any flavoring if you desire(reasberry,almond,hazelnut,chocolate etc)
now add the brewed coffe and stir until the sugar is dissolved
simmer until reduced to half(WATCH THE POT!!!! if it gets to hot it will boil over,set off the smoke detectors and you have to explain to the Firemen that you were bootlegging and weren't paying attention)
let it cool-then add 1 fifth of vodka and a good dose of creme de cocoa
used clean jugs and bottle it all!!!!!
ENJOY!
For those who do not or can not drink alchohol,bottle the syrup and add to milk ,over ice cream,or pound cake!!!! YUM!
We all have to cook sometimes! I enjoy cooking for folks who LOVE to eat! (Mostly, my Hubby) I want to share my favorites and I would Love to have you all add yours!!! "May the smells from you oven beckon warmth to your hearth! (and NOT the fire department!)
