coffee coffee coffee...kahlua

Most coffee liquor isn't gluten free, so we decided to make our own. It's amazing!

3 cups strong cold brewed coffee
1 vanilla bean
2 cups vodka (we used Tito's)
1/2 cup agave nectar
1/2 cup maple syrup

Make strong cold brew first:

3 cups water
1 1/2 cups ground dark coffee (we used The Roasterie's Kansas City Dark Roast)

Combine water and coffee grounds and let sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Then strain out grounds using a fine sieve.

Meanwhile, put whole vanilla bean in the vodka for 24 hours. One small Tito's bottle is exactly two cups of vodka, so you can put the vanilla bean directly in.

Combine coffee, vodka, agave, and maple syrup and stir. You can also leave the vanilla bean in the mixture. Let sit for at least 4 hours.

Drink!
