Method
Kahlua Preparation Steps
Brew Coffee
In a medium saucepan, combine the coffee beans and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes to extract the coffee flavor.
Strain Coffee
After simmering, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or coffee filter into a bowl to remove the coffee grounds, allowing the liquid to cool.
Combine Ingredients
In a clean saucepan, combine the cooled coffee liquid, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir over low heat until the sugar completely dissolves.
Bottle and Store
Pour the Kahlua mixture into clean bottles and seal tightly. Let it sit for at least 2 weeks to allow the flavors to meld before using.
