Tracy's Kahlua
Johnny
My wife's Kahlua. Everyone says this is way better than the store bought stuff.
- 24 C of strong brewed coffee
- 4 lbs light brown sugar
- 1.75 L Everclear alcohol
- 3/4 C vanilla
Brew 24 cups of strong coffee.
Pour coffee into a large stock pot and bring to a boil.
Add brown sugar and stir constantly for 5 minutes.
Remove stock pot from heat and cool.
Once cool, stir in 1.75 L Everclear.
Use a funnel and pour into bottles
I will often soak a vanilla bean in 3/4 cup Everclear between batches then dump the vanilla bean and Everclear into the stock pot.
