Betty Cooks - Homemade Kahlua

Have you ever made/had home made Kahlua? There is nothing better than the homemade stuff!

Here is my Mom's recipe for home made Kahlua. This is a good liquor to have around in the cold weather. Add a little to your coffee or perhaps use in a favorite recipe instead of water, etc!

I hope you enjoy this as much as my family does!
