Coffee Liquor (Like Kahlua)

 Chris (Virginia) says:
This was very similar to my mother in laws homemade Kahlua. She use to ferment it for 90 days and bring it out for Easter dinner. She used 110 proof vodka what a kick. She used the vanilla bean and tied it on a string and left it hanging in the bottle until it was ready to drink. Kudos to you.
