Make at Home! Kahlua Liquer in an Instant

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*
Cooking Instructions
- 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.

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.

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.

However, this method always results in a high alcohol content.
