ISO Kahlua recipe

17 years ago

I used to make Kahlua years ago and want to make some again. The recipe I had (and liked) called for putting the vanilla bean into the vodka and letting it set for a couple weeks and then add the "cooked" coffee, sugar and water. Does anyone have this recipe? All I can find anywhere are the quicker versions or ones where you make it all at once and then let sit. TIA!

here's one we make using espresso. regular coffee didn't seem strong enough. maybe this is what you are looking for?

1 cup espresso coffee
1 cup sugar
2 cups vodka (80-100 proof)
1/2 vanilla bean split lengthwise

Brew a fresh pot of espresso (or a very strong coffee). Add sugar, make certain it is all dissolved and let cool. Once cooled, add the vanilla beab and the vodka. Transfer to a bottle (we use a dark glass bottle). (For the first week or so, we shook the bottle to make certain all the sugar was completely dissolved) You can let it sit anywhere between two to four weeks. When it's done, remove the bean and strain it into a clean, new bottle.

I have one going now. it's keeping my lemoncello company. At thanksgiving, i'll make an italian cream liquer that will be served on christmas.

salute!

The only place you are going to ge a Kahluha recipe is from Pernod Ricard if you contact them, and I highly doubt if they are going to share their recipe and technique.

ISO T&T Easy Apple Crisp/Crumble Recipe - NO OATS
Q
Comments (11)
bbstx, I'm curious about the addition of water. I've never added it to the filling for an apple (or any other) crisp or crumble. The flour I use in the topping seems to help with thickening as the crisp bakes. FWIW, this is the recipe I use for an apple crisp. The filling is just apples, sugar and lemon juice. As with most crisps, it does contain oats in the topping. The filling is never watery. Apple Crisp 7-8 Granny Smith apples, peeled and cut into large chunks 2 T. lemon juice 1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar (to taste) 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup plus 2 T. light brown sugar, packed 3/4 cup old fashioned oats 1/2 tsp. salt 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 tsp. nutmeg 10 T. cold butter, diced Optional: 1 cup pecans (or walnuts), lightly toasted and coarsely chopped Preheat oven to 375. In a large bowl, toss the apples, lemon juice and sugar until mixture is well combined. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, oats, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. With food processor or pastry blender, cut in/pulse the butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in nuts. Spread the apple mixture in a buttered baking dish. The fruit should be about 2 to 2 1/2 inches deep. Sprinkle the topping evenly over apples. Bake the crisp for about 55 minutes or until bubbling and top is golden.

I had a huge passion vine when I lived in Venice (CA), and I would get 60 to 80 fruits a day during the summer, and so I bought a Juiceman juicer to extract the juice, which is extremely sour. I used the juice to make sorbet, and I added a simple sugar sweetener to the juice to make it sweet. To make the sorbet from this mixture, I put it in a shallow rectangular pan and put that in the freezer. Then, every so often, I would stir the mixture with a fork, to break up the ice crystals, and when it was sufficiently frozen, I put it in a blender, to smoothen the texture, and then I put it into containers to store in the freezer. Because I used fresh passion fruit, the sorbet had a wonderful and delicate fragrance, reminiscent of the flowers.

Hi Maryanne,

Thanks for the Kahlua recipe. I too used to make it, but haven't in years.
Would you share your Italian Cream liquer recipe? That sounds wonderful too.

Thanks, LinJoh

Leaveswave, KahlÃºa is a brand name for a coffee liquer. It has its own recipe that the producers are not going to share.

There are many other coffee liquers out there for sale, most notably Tia Maria and Pahsa, and also many, many other "off" brands available.

You may be able to make something with a coffee recipe, but it is NOT KahlÃºa and won't taste anything like it.

And BTW you can't make Bailey's either, for the same reason, although you can make any number of types and tastes of Irish cream liquer, each having their own unique taste.

bud_wi: Do you also feel the need to lecture people who ask for a Kleenex or Q-Tip instead of a facial tissue or cotton swab? Using a brand name in this context is common and accepted in colloquial English, and there's no need to be a dick about it.
