Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 quart water
2 1/2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons instant coffee
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups vodka

Steps:

Boil water, coffee, sugar.
Simmer for 3 hours (stirring frequently).
Let cool and add vanilla and vodka.

Tips:

Use high-quality coffee beans. Freshly roasted and coarsely ground coffee beans will yield the best flavor.
Don't over-roast the coffee beans. Over-roasted beans will make the Kahlúa bitter.
Use filtered or distilled water. Tap water can contain impurities that can affect the taste of the Kahlúa.
Use a clean glass jar or container to store the Kahlúa. A dirty jar can contaminate the Kahlúa.
Store the Kahlúa in a cool, dark place. Kahlúa will keep for up to 6 months in a cool, dark place.
