Kahlua.
I have been interested in making Kahlua ever since I realized I could make it at home. (several years now)
I hesitate to call it "homemade", I suppose making it at home constitutes the title, however, Kahlua is so easy to make and involves very very little effort.
It is simply a process of stirring a few ingredients together.
See for yourself :)

Vanilla Flavored Coffee.
The recipe I used suggested Chocolate Flavored Coffee... but I'm not a huge fan of chocolate... HUH! I know.... moving on.
Step 1: make a 12 cp pot of double strength coffee... i.e. enough grounds for 24 cups.
I was afraid of over loading the coffee maker so I made 6 cups of double strength coffee 2x.

When the coffee is finished brewing and the house smells delicious...
Step 2: pour all the coffee into a large stock pot and bring to a boil.

Step 3: When the coffee reaches a boil, add 2 lbs. of light brown sugar. eek!
It took all my strength to pour 2 lbs of sugar into the pot. 2lbs of sugar is an enormous amount of sugar... however, I don't foresee "we" sitting down to a huge mug of Kahlua. We use it just like you would any other strong alcohol. Which is sparingly... at least this is what I told myself when I poured the last pound of sugar into the coffee.

Step 4: Once the coffee has cooled to room temperature, pour 750 ml of Everclear 151 proof alcohol into the pot.
Not sure if your local liquor store sells this? Just look for the bottle that says "Extremely Flammable!" haa ha

You really can't go wrong with coffee, sugar and liquor.

Step 5: Add 4 - 6 tablespoons of vanilla extract.

Step 6: fill up some nifty bottles with your Kahlua

Enjoy!
