![CONNELLY'S COWLUA [Kahlua]](http://www.vanillapura.com/cdn/shop/articles/shutterstock_1052535086.png?v=1639457231&width=1024)
Cowlua... un peu d'humour fermier du Nebraska ! Tu dois essayer cette recette de Kahlua. Le brassage prend un peu plus de temps, mais toutes les bonnes choses arrivent à ceux qui attendent. Fais de beaux rêves Cowlua !
Ingrédients:
-2 1/2 tasses de café noir fort
-2 1/2 tasses de bonne Vodka
-2 tasses de sucre
--1/2 tasse de sucre de gousse de vanille
-1 oz de gousses de vanille entières
1/4 tasse de grains de café entiers
Instructions:
-Commencez par ajouter le sucre au café infusé, remuez jusqu'à dissolution. Préparez votre café fort mais pas amer. Un bon café arabica moyennement corsé est une excellente option. Ou utilisez votre type de café préféré. L'ajout de grains de café entiers rehausse la saveur. Et le décaféiné est toujours une option si telle est votre préférence.
-Ajouter les gousses de vanille, laisser refroidir complètement
-Ajouter des grains de café entiers (facultatif)
- Incorporer l'alcool
**Vous pouvez le préparer dans un pot d'un gallon, puis filtrer et remettre en bouteille pour offrir. Le temps d'infusion est d'environ 6 à 8 mois, ce qui donne l'extrait de vanille. Lors de la mise en bouteille, vous pouvez retirer les gousses de vanille et les conserver pour vous ou répartir les gousses entre les bouteilles et les offrir avec le Kahlua. Starlette réalise une version différente chaque année pour ses enfants adultes.
Merci beaucoup pour le partage Starlette !

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!
