Like every year, I made some edible gifts to give my friends for Christmas. Last year, I had successfully made some Bailey’s Irish Cream, so this time I wanted to experiment with other flavoured liqueurs. I love Kahlua, so I thought I would try that. I found lots of recipes and in the end I made the one I will share with you today. It tastes really good, but it’s not as thick and “syrupy” like the original Kahlua, so I thought of changing the name to Coffee and Vanilla Liqueur. That said, it is really easy to make and if you like coffee, you will love this! I also made some of my Orange Marzipan Balls and Pineapple and Passion fruit Jam to put in this year’s Christmas basket. Check out these and more Christmas gift ideas here. Enjoy!
