You probably have the vodka, ice, milk and cool personality, but do you have the Kahlua? If not, this is how to make your own with some staple* larder ingredients. (*Providing your larder has white rum, coffee, sugar and vanilla..)
500mls of water
60gms of nice coffee granules
800gms of granulated sugar
600mls of white rum or vodka
1 vanilla pod
Method;
Pitch the sugar, water and coffee into a large saucepan and slowly heat until the coffee and sugar are completely dissolved.
Allow mixture to cool and keep stirring.
Cut the vanilla pod into 4, plonk a piece into each bottle, cap it, shake it and store it for about 3 weeks.
Then, strain it to get the vanilla pod out, rebottle, cap and store!
Alternatively, split the vanilla pod into 3, put a third into each of 3 bottles then put a teaspoon of vanilla extract into the 4th bottle for immediate consumption!
Prepare a sturdy tumbler with 4 cubes of ice, a shot of your lovely Kahlua, one and a half shots of vodka and top up with milk for a perfect white Russian.
Enjoy!
