Homemade Kahlua - Makes A Great Gift!

[@transplantedyankee8861]

I had to watch this to compare to my grandfather s recipe. Lol his used whole vanilla bean and 6 months steep time. I of course went with pure extract, not patient. The one variance I did was to use brewed coffee instead of water and coffee crystals. A rich coffee flavor.

[@MrsMoonwitch]

Thank you for sharing. Your recipe is much easier than mine. One thing I do is put a vanilla bean in the bottle. The longer the vanilla bean is in the kahlua, the richer the kahlua becomes.

[@VickiesCountryHome]

That sounds like a great idea! Thank you for sharing!

[@LorraineHatrix]

Thank you for teaching us

[@carldaniels4827]

when you stated that your husband said 'no' to buying the 915 all american pressure cooker for christmas should be a HUGE pat on the back for brian. because he loves his wife sooooooo much he said 'no just go ahead and get it'. Christmas is not about giving expensive items (cars, diamonds, excetera) just for that special day. true LOVE over rules consumer driven exploitation's. Bravo! Brian!

[@hmsdefiant]

Yes, I like. Definitely make it accessible is my motto. There's all sorts of fancy recipies, but they take an off-putting amount of time and expense for many of us out there, especially in these times unfortunate austerity.

[@julipersm4371]

Omgosh my go to drink every time 😋😋😉😎

[@gunnarbiker]

I wish they'd make a measuring cup where most of the liquid didn't run down the side! LOL Can't wait to try this. Been wanting to make my own kahlua for a really long time!

[@derekmcewen3631]

What a super recipe ! Thank you for sharing.

[@flowerchild777]

Lovely🤗 I've switched my cream with.... 💖💖💖 ice cream 💖💖💖 Simply delicious! Thank you again for another easy, enjoyable recipe👍👍👍

I appreciate this because I love kahlua but cant have caffeine at night . I can use decaf

[@causticchameleon7861]

Made both the amaretto and Kahlua for Christmas gifts 30 years ago. But I had to do it a month in advance and let them sit in the dark for a month.

[@timfrey2358]

very cool, thank you! Also I pove the Medaglia D'Oro espresso powder, I use it for anything, coffee yogurt, coffee ice cream, cake frosting... So good.

[@mazzabrittany]

I love Kahlua

[@Bucketlistretreats]

We used Everclear & Folgers back in the hard times in Alaska .... 1981 LOL ... actually they were a lot of fun....XO, Kelly

[@ylashanda1706]

I have the folgers and the everclear. Would you care to share your recipe? LOL😂

[@bruticusmagnus]

I suggest to help it's shelf life and taste, put about a marble size of dry ice in it. The dry ice will sublimate and displace the oxygen in the bottle. Once the dry ice has sublimated cap the bottle.

[@elizabethcope1502]

Or vaccum seal.

[@vijaysingh-ei2pz]

Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍 it's easy to make recipe and extra thank for sharing ingredients in description ❤️

My favorite drink.

[@petrisz]

I'd recommend grinding coffee very coarse, like only breaking the beans into 3-4 parts and soaking the beans in some fairly neutral rum (e.g. B***rdi White). Leave the beans soaking for a month, then use paper filters to filter it. That will give you much better result than any kind of instant coffee. All the other things (sugar, vanilla) is fine.

[@MrRolloTomassie]

Why rum in place of vodka?

[@lindathompson7707]

original Kailua is made,with rum. I preferit.

[@michelle04161966]

Thanks for this recipe. Kahlua is so expensive and this is way more affordable. By the way, I am a new subscriber as of today. I just love how patient you are and how informative all your videos are. Keep being authentic!

[@VickiesCountryHome]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@elsadakota1021]

Same coffee I use for my mocha fudge. People beat my door down for it!

[@LorraineHatrix]

Please share that with us ... please

[@borantandogan5524]

friends, if you want your kahlua to have viscosity like actual kahlua, just add 1 and a half cup of corn syrup instead of one of two cups of sugar, do everything else according to the recipe.

[@flyfishing1776]

Will do.Thank you👍👍

[@terrybatman]

What if you add more sugar than water

[@tamaramorton8812]

I wish I'd seen this before Christmas but it's still cold outside and that would sure go down easy! I'm going to check your Amazon site, I think it was an Amazon link, because I'm wondering where you got those containers. Will check the comments, too. Thank you!

I made you vanilla in July 2020 and I love it, I will definitely do the toasted almond. Thank you.

Back again, I made Amaretto , so easy and it tastes great.!

I bet that is sooooooo delicious. I must try it. Thanks Vickie.

It is so good! I made this with the Esspresso powder which is a little strong for me, but I know Brian and others love it. But be sure to try the Toasted Almond!

They had a bootlegging operation since the 1800s. They also used to run their homemade hootch up to the speakeasies in St Louis and Chicago during the Prohibition. 😁😁😁

[@martinathompson4003]

The only alcohol I like at all is kaluha. I've made before. Was lovely neat but if added a mixer like coke it splits the recipe up and just tastes like rum and coke. Because although this lady is using vodka kaluha is actually made with white rum.

[@susanhafner6906]

Ty that's what I thought

[@a64738]

Hmm make Kaluha with black rum and you could probably do so with lot less sugar and end up with a very interesting taste.

[@martinathompson4003]

Rondon cat I seem to think the recipe I used before was a bottle white rum. Bottle dark rum. Brown sugar and white sugar. I couldnt get kaluha here in the uk. But I can now. And it's often on offer. Only reason I'm thinking of making some is caffeine keeps me awake all night. So making it I can use decaf 🤗🤗🤗

Not sure on this but you mightvwant to explore how your dried coffee was made. I understand that the process includes formaldehyde. If that is accurate, you may want to use the real thing. I condence my coffee in my percolator. The use of vanilla was a great idea. Thanks or sharing.

[@ceciliaelizabethjoao4306]

Liked ur video mam

Real Kahlua is made with rum and that's what I put in mine. I'm not criticizing. I've tried it with vodka and it is much better with rum. Give it a try. It might change your mind.

This is an easy one! Definitely gotta try this. I’ve seen the complicated ones with coffee beans and steeping and all that. Who has time for that! A shot of amaretto poiredvover a scoop or two or three of really good quality vanilla ice cream is fantastic. Kahlua might be good as well, but Amaretto is fantastic! Thank you Vickie.

Does the kahlua need to be refrigerated or is it shelf-safe in a closed container?

[@7531monkey]

I can tell you instant coffee and sugar in water will mold so this probably will too.

[@VickiesCountryHome]

Mine has been at room temperature for over a year, and I recently smelled and tasted it, and it is still great. Probably because of the high alcohol content.

Any particular reason you used Vodka instead of Rum, which is the base for the real Kailua?
