HOME MADE KAHLUA

 INGREDIENTS:

4 cup of Vodka.
8 cups of water
5 Vanilla beans
8 cups of sugar
12 Tablespoon Yuban coffee.   Or 12 Tablespoons Instant Yuban a little easier.
Glass bottles with good tight lids.  

METHOD: 

First Bring 8 cup of water to a boil, when it's boiling really good pour in sugar and stir with a wooden spoon until sugar is dissolved.  Next add either 12 Table spoon of Instant Yuban and stir till it's dissolved, in this case their is no need to strain after the hour is up.
If you are using 12 Table spoons Yuban non instant coffee grounds you will need to strain through a coffee filter after the time is up.  Let this both mixtures rest for 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours.

After the hour is up add four cups of Vodka to the mixture.   The glass bottles you use should be sterile.  Take the vanilla beans and split them down the middle exposing the beans.  Stick one in each bottle, but do this one at a time.  So you don't waste any vanilla beans.  Now take a funnel and fill up each bottle and either and make sure the lid of cork is very tight.   Fill all the bottles.   These bottles need to be placed in a very dark area away from light.  Let them rest for 11 months to a full year or longer.  The longer they sit the better the flavor.   

You can use this for making ice cream, cooking, drinking or what ever else you can think of. 
Have fun.
