Alright - I have made some GREAT Kahlua! My March batch had a weak coffee taste. The April batch came out so good. The May batch should be similar to the April batch. It will be ready in a few weeks.
Thanks for those who replied to my earlier request for a recipe. I kinda made my own recipe from those I collected. Recipe: 1) 1/2 cup Espresso (1/4+ cup fresh roasted beans + 3/4 cup water through my cheap Krupps espresso machine) 2) 1 cup sugar 3) 16 oz Vodka (Smirnoff) 4) 1/2 vanilla bean, slit lengthwise Mix sugar in warm espresso, then mix together with vodka. Fill empty bottle, add vanilla bean. Seal, wait two months (the hardest part). Yields 28 oz - just fills an empty Kahlua bottle. Now that I know the recipe is good, I am going to made bigger batches. Thanks again!
