Before the crash someone posted this recipe:
-----------------------------------
4 c. sugar
1½ tbsp. vanilla extract
1 qt (4 c.) water
1 qt (4 c.) cheap vodka
4 tbsp. of instant Folger's CoffeeÂ[emoji]174[/emoji]
Bring water, sugar and coffee to a boil on the stove. Be very, very careful this does not boil over. It will so watch it closely. Once everything is boiling, lower heat and simmer for one hour. Then, turn off heat and let cool for 2 hours. Then, mix in vodka and vanilla extract. Place in bottle of your choice and wait 3 days. That is all there is to it.

I cut and pasted the recipe into notepad and saved it, didn't get the poster's name, however. But, I made up the recipe Wed. You have to babysit it while it reaches a boil, it foams up very quickly, but by lifting it off the heat and adjusting you can get it to a boil then back it down to a simmer. Once simmering, check it and stir it as it boils down as it will foam up again, so you keep lowering the heat a little at a time. (Went from 8 out of 10 to a boil, down to 5 for simmer to a low of 3 on the stovetop knob).
I bought a 1.75 liter (1.87 qts) of cheap vodka for $9.97, used 1 qt of it, enough left to make ¾ more of a batch. The mixture I made just filled up the 1.87 qt vodka bottle (stored the rest of the vodka in an old Bailey's bottle I had from Christmas), so it made about $75 worth of Kahlua (it's about $40 a quart here). And, I poured a drink for my wife; kahlua and cream is her most favorite drink - she loved it! Said it was just as good, if not even a little more flavorful, than the original!
Thanks to whoever originally posted the recipe - it is great and I give it two pigsfeet up!
