Ingredients
2 ½
cups
strong and hot fresh brewed coffee
4
cups
sugar
- organic
2 ¼
cups
rum
1
inch
vanilla bean
- cut in half lengthwise for aged quality or 1 tablespoon of a good quality vanilla extract for instant gratification
Instructions
Stir sugar into hot coffee and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Let cool.
Add the rum and vanilla pieces, stir.
Cover and let sit for 2 to 3 weeks in a cool place.
Strain, remove beans and bottle.
If you are using vanilla extract then stir in and it is ready. It won't have quite the depth of flavor but it is good.

Notes
Sugar loses a lot of its measurement when it turns to liquid so you will end up with about 46 ounces of Kahlua.
