An
excellent recipe for
kahlua (I learned this from some friends of mine in
Chapel Hill,
NC; thanks Ross):
Heat 6 cups
water, mix in 3 cups of
sugar until it is completely dissolved. Remove from heat, mix in a half cup of
coffee crystals and 2 ounces of
vanilla extract. Let cool and mix with 1/4 gallon of 100
proof vodka (the better, the better). Experiment with the proportions to taste.
This kahlua not only tastes really good, but also gets you
wired :).
I suggest mixing this with
orange juice, about equal parts of each. You'll be
surprised at the taste.
