6 liters water
1 kilo sugar
1 50 gram jar instant coffee (the brand you would drink)
1 700ml vodka
1 700ml dark rum
1 200ml brandy
supply of vanilla beans

In a large pot, make a BIG cup of coffee with the first 3 ingredients. Allow to cool. Add the liquor and stir well. In STERILE jars add a Vanilla Bean to each. Bottle and store at LEAST 10 days rotating daily. (The bottle, NOT you, ...unless you've been sampling).

This is a "Drinking Kahlua".

If you want a thicker Liqueur, (for, say, ice cream, HALVE the water and DOUBLE the sugar).
