Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

3 cups sugar
3 cups water
12 teaspoons instant coffee (Really good)
2 tablespoons fresh coffee, coarsely ground
3 cups vodka (Good)
1 cup brandy (any)
6 teaspoons vanilla extract


Mix first 4 ingredients and simmer them for 1 1/2 -2 hours with
occasional stirring.
Cool.
Add the rest of the stuff.
Filter and pour into dark bottles.
I use a metal mesh to keep out the coffee grounds.
Keep the bottles in a cool, dark place for 3 months (YOU HEARD IT RIGHT!). Shake every day

    presuming you are of age!
    In the following recipes for homemade kaluha, you should wait a minimum of six months for the flavor to emerge but longer is better. Store as you would wine, in a cool, dark place at a constant temperature. When the holidays approach, decant the mixture into smaller bottles and give as gifts to friends and family.


    Ingredients:

    One empty wine bottle (proportions are important here)
    2 vanilla beans, process as instructed below
    1 cup granulated white sugar
    1 cup pure grain alcohol (Grain Alcohol works best)
    1 cup Strong brewed or French Press coffee


    Preparation:

    Gently pound the whole Vanilla Bean with the back of a large knife or wooden mallet to mash the inner pulp and seeds.
    Split the bean lengthwise and then into ¼" pieces, carefully conserving every last drop of the highly concentrated flavor.
    Add to wine bottle along with sugar and alcohol then top off bottle with coffee.
    Seal the bottle tightly once cool.
    Plastic coated corks work best as the natural corks will "bleed" flavor.
    Store in a cool, dark place for at least 6 months, shaking daily to fully mix the ingredients for the first month.
    The vanilla pieces will ultimately dissolve but may need straining if you're the anxious type and open the bottle early.
    Use in mixed drinks (a waste if you ask me), or sip it after dinner with a simple dish of vanilla bean ice cream.

    1 cup very, very strong coffee that you can make using at least four scoops of coffee or four Tablespoons of Instant coffee.

    1 fifth vodka

    10 Tablespoons white granulated sugar.

    1 Tablespoon of Black strap Molasses.

    Dissolve sugar and Molasses in with the coffee and then mix in the vodka.

    Put it in container with a cork or top.

    Enjoy!
