Make at Home! Kahlua Liquer in an Instant
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
Liqueur made from coffee beans always has a very high alcohol content.
And it doesn't taste like Kahlua.
I live in a country where Kahlua isn't available in shops. I usually buy it in duty-free import shops. When I tried instant coffee, it tasted really similar to Kahlua, so I did a bit of experimenting.
In order to get this how I like it, I made it over 10 times.
This time, I used 35 % Eau Du Vie (sweet brandy). I can't drink strong alcohol because of my age, so I only used 120 ml. If you use 150 ml it's quite strong -- I think probably the same as Kahlua. Probably.... the real stuff should be around 20%. Recipe by Mon*chou-chou*

- 1
Simmer the water and sugar for a bit over a heat source. Add the coffee in one batch and dissolve.
- 2
Alternatively, add the water and sugar to a large bowl and heat in a microwave at 1000 W for roughly 1 1/2 minutes until the mixture has reduced a bit. Mix together thoroughly, then add the coffee.
- 3
Warning: If cooking in a microwave, be sure to use a big bowl or else it will overflow. Leave Step 1/2 to cool.
- 4
Add in the alcohol little by little, and mix thoroughly.
- 5
Store in a sterilized jar. I wet the bottle and microwave at 1000 W for 2 minutes.
- 6
The alcohol content of this drink is fairly low. If you like it stronger, increase the amount of alcohol to 150 ml from 120 ml.
- 7
This is the instant coffee that I use.
- 8
For the beverage in the main picture, I mixed 1 part milk to 1.5 parts Kahlua.
- 9
Memo: can be made by infusing 30 g coffee beans, 50 g rock sugar, and 1 cup of alcohol. After 2-3 weeks, strain to produce Kahlua.
- 10
However, this method always results in a high alcohol content.

Kahlua Krunch Kobbler
This uses Splenda brown sugar blend, so it's lighter in sugar, but by no means a true diabetic recipe. This could easily be made with regular brown sugar if you so choose also, and the amounts are given for that. It's sweet and creamy and delicious with a scoop of ice cream on top.

Iced Coffee at Home
I always use a specialized cold-brew pot to make iced coffee, but I use this recipe when I'm making a large amount or when I'm at my parents' house.Making your own iced coffee is better for the environment, since you won't have to waste a plastic bottle.(With the specialized cold-brew pot, you don't even need tea bags!)It takes 8 to 10 hours for tasty coffee, so I recommend setting it up before you go to bed, or before leaving your home in the morning.If you use only 1 empty tea bag, the coffee grinds may leak out. You may want to use the second bag to cover the first with the opening at the other end, strain the coffee through a strainer, or transfer it to another container through a tea strainer.

Easy and Delicious! Instant Iced Cafe au Lait
An award-winning bartender once taught me how to make a delicious whisky and soda. I applied the same techniques to a cafe au lait made with instant coffee, and it was really tasty.The key is to mix the ice until the glass becomes cold. If you occasionally shake the glass so the coffee touches the ice, it will chill more quickly. Recipe by 239

Dalgona Bustelo coffee ☕ with amaretto
Dalgona Busteloo amaretto ..My husband and me récipe ...enjoy. Add all the coffee, sugar and boiling water in a bowl (you can easily double or triple this recipe). Using a hand mixer or stand mixer and whip on one of the higher speeds.Whip the entire mixture for about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and whip any bits that didn't get whipped.Taste (if is very strong! But of course diluted with your milk) and add more sugar IF desired. I've seen some people add another tablespoon of sugar, but it was fine for me. Remember it'll be diluted with the milk!Add the coffee to a tall glass (about 8-12 ounces) of your favourite milk. I've tried it with soy milk, almond and 0ats milk., then spoon the whipped coffee on top. If using hot, just add it to the glass.Using your spoon or straw, stir vigorously to swirl it into your milk.Sip and enjoy! Also take a photo 😉
Homemade Black Tea Liqueur
Since Kahlua Milk exists, I thought that a tea version should work too! I wanted to try it, but around these parts they only sell tea liqueur in big bottles and it's expensive. I had some white liquor left over from making fruit liqueurs, so I sort of winged it to use up leftovers, but the results were pretty tasty.I recommend using Earl Grey tea, but other flavors should work too. You can use tea bags too, in which case, use about 3 bags. Rock sugar crystals, raw cane sugar or beet sugar should work too. 30 g is not that sweet, but the resulting liqueur is easy to use. If you are going to use the liqueur in cocktails, use up to 50 g of sugar, but it will be rather sweet. The alcohol content is quite high, so be careful not to drink too much. Try it as a flavoring in baked goods. Recipe by Minori105

California Farm Coffee Grounds Liqueur
We roast and grind our own coffee beans, one tablespoon a day. The leftover coffee grounds, 25 grams a day, make a wonderful liqueur. Here is how we do that. You can process your own ground coffee the same way if yours is also organic and does not contain preservatives, fillers, or salt or additives.We use cooking rum to finish this coffee liqueur. For some reason, this after dinner drink will keep you awake, plan your evenings and parties wisely.

No Liquor? Try This Cake Syrup♪
This is the stuff you spread on sponge cake to make it moist. On March 13, I adjusted the sugar amount and included the ratio in the 'Tips & Points'.The story behind this recipeBuying it every time is a hassle, and since I don't bake sweets that often, I looked it up online because it wasn't on Cookpad. The flavor might not be as rich, but use this when you don't have liquor or liqueur☆彡

Strawberry Liqueur
I bought a bit less than 2 kilos of strawberries, so I made this pretty colored liqueur, which was something I've been wanting to do.Sterilize the jar properly with alcohol or boiling water (as you would sterilize a baby bottle)!Freeze the berries completely.I plan to make jam out of the berries that are removed from the liqueur (a slightly "tipsy" jam for the weekends).I think that strawberries that are a bit unripe and on the sour side are best for this.I held back on the amount of sugar used.If the strawberries you are using are sweet, you could try adding more lemon.

Right now, shio-koji is quite trendy.You can get it at the store, but is it really fermented? Is it still alive?I won't be satisfied unless I make it myself, so that's what I did.It's too easy, so there aren't any hints.As shown in the picture, it's convenient to use an empty honey container.

Homemade Hot Chocolate
Hot chocolate is always best when it's homemade. It's also nearly as fast to make it homemade as to make it from a mix, you just heat up the milk then stir everything together. This is rich and creamy, sweet but not too sweet. The chocolate is the star of this show, so use a good quality one...not only will it taste better but the chocolate will melt smoother also. I like Ghirardelli brand. This recipe is enough for either two large mugs or 4 smaller mugs.
Dalgona whipped coffee
Everyone is making this coffee which I've known about for years but never truly made it. I figured I needed to at least try a vegan version of it.
