Kalua

[Brokenhandle]

Was running low on kalua so time to mix up some more. The ingredients...

8 cups of hazelnut coffee
3 cups sugar
1/3 cup instant coffee
3 Tbsp instant vanilla
1.75 L brandy

Put sugar and instant coffee into bowl, when coffee is brewed pour that into bowl and stir until sugar and instant coffee are dissolved. Then add vanilla. Allow to cool before adding brandy. We use E & J, just because that's what is easily available for us. Once brandy is added mix it up and bottle it. We use gallon glass jars but anything will work. The best part...consumption

Sometimes we add a splash of milk

My wife liked it better before I started drinking it...it lasted longer!
Thanks for looking

That sounds easy and tasty. Years ago, I would sip a Toasted Almond as a dessert. The Amaretto and Kalua compliment each other so well...JJ

That looks really good. I would suggest the book Cordials From Your Kitchen. Lots of good recipes in it. My wife and I make something about every other week.

I did sugar free Kahlua a few years back for my ex. At the time I used erythritol. I now would recommend Allulose as it is far less likely to recrystalize.

Well, we used to try to keep a gallon or two on hand... that used to work better before I really started to like it! A gallon doesn't last two weeks here now. But we never refrigerate and at times goes to rendezvous with us in the heat... has never gone bad. I do prefer adding a touch of milk with it though... as I mix one to drink, not with the gallon batch
