Kahlúa Homemade

This homemade Kahlúa recipe was created after trying several different recipes. I love to make this around Thanksgiving to drink or give as presents at Christmastime. The longer you wait, the better it is — try and wait 4 weeks.

Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Pour coffee mixture into a clean, large glass jar. Add grain alcohol, vanilla extract, and vanilla bean; cover with a tight-fitting lid.
Step 2

Step 3
Let sit in a dark place, shaking occasionally, for 4 weeks. Divide into bottles, leaving a piece of vanilla bean in each.
