![CONNELLY'S COWLUA [Kahlua]](http://www.vanillapura.com/cdn/shop/articles/shutterstock_1052535086.png?v=1639457231&width=1024)
Cowlua... ¡un poco de humor agrícola de Nebraska! Tienes que probar esta receta de Kahlua. Se tarda un poco más en prepararlo, pero todo lo bueno les llega a quienes esperan. ¡Dulces sueños de Cowlua!
Ingredientes:
-2 1/2 tazas de café negro fuerte
-2 1/2 Tazas de buen Vodka
-2 Tazas de Azúcar
--1/2 taza de azúcar de vainilla
-1 oz de vainas de vainilla enteras
1/4 taza de café en grano entero
Instrucciones:
-Comience agregando el azúcar al café preparado, revuelva hasta que se disuelva. Prepare su café fuerte pero no amargo. Un buen café arábica de cuerpo medio es una gran opción. O usa tu tipo de café favorito. Agregar granos de café enteros realza el sabor. Y el descafeinado siempre es una opción si así lo prefieres.
-Agregue las vainas de vainilla, deje enfriar completamente.
-Agregar granos de café enteros (opcional)
-Agregue el alcohol
**Puedes preparar esto en un frasco de un galón, luego colarlo y volver a embotellarlo para regalar. El tiempo de preparación es de aproximadamente 6 a 8 meses, dando tiempo al extracto de vainilla. Al embotellar, puedes quitar las vainas de vainilla y quedártelas para ti o dividir las vainas entre las botellas y regalarlas con Kahlua. Starlette hace una versión diferente cada año para sus hijos adultos.

Thank you for all of the questions about making this Cowlua! I’ll do my best to answer each one…
- It’s recommended to leave the vanilla beans whole but for a more prominent vanilla flavor, and caviar in your Cowlua, then you can split them open.
- The 1/4 cup coffee beans are optional and in addition to the brewed coffee, add them to the coffee once it has cooled. Strain the beans out when brewing is complete.
- Glycerin can be used to make extracts (a ratio of 1 pint of glycerin to 6oz of water). Using it to make this liquor based drink would alter the taste somewhat though.
- You’ll need 2 cups of sugar plus 1/2 cup vanilla sugar if you have it for this recipe, so 2 1/2 cups in total.
- With a high alcohol content this brew should keep for a long while, if you can resist drinking it! Keep it in the fridge to extend the shelf life.
- The Cowlua is best served with some milk/cream as a drink, or used in your favorite recipes that call for Kalhua!
Hi ! There are alot of questions on this post that aren’t answered. I was wanting to make, but I have the same questions.
Do you add this extract to cream or is this the entire drink served over ice? Thank you
Love this concoction so far. It won’t be done for a while, but the flavor is already intense. The aroma is quite heavenly!!!
Not that it will last, but how long is the shelf life? Or does it have one?
The recipe says 3 cups sugar and then 1/2 cup vanilla sugar. Is that 2 1/2 cups total or 1/2 c vanilla sugar is part of the 2 cups. At what point do the whole coffee beans get strained, after the completion of the brew time ? Thank you

Where do the whole coffee beans come into the recipe? I would love to give this a try.
Could this be made with glycerin and if so, what glycerin/water ratio would you recommend to rep,ace the alcohol?
What do we do with the whole beans??
1/4 cup coffee beans? are what you brew, or go into the extract whole?
Do you split the vanilla beans open or leave them whole?
Thanks for the recipe!
I would love to make this. I just need to know when and what to do with the whole coffee beans.
Thanks in advance
How much alcohol?
Hey, when do the coffee beans go in n come out?? Sure sounds good!
