Homemade Kahlua
This version of Kahlua is just as good, if not better than the real thing. The trick is to let the vanilla bean soak in the alcoholic liquid for 2 weeks.

Claire, I have made this Kahlua recipe and then come back and noticed in your reviews that it is meant to ne 50g not 500g of coffee. So are you able to help me out and tell me how I can somehow save what I have made with 500g of coffee. As it is way too strong and I don't want to waste what I have already made. Thanks - 12 Sep 2011 (Review from Allrecipes AU | NZ)

Do you actually need 500 grams of instant coffee? Seems a lot of caffeine! - 18 Jan 2010 (Review from Allrecipes AU | NZ)
