Dona & Mel have this to say about Kahlua:

The Mexican "Kahlua" & Jamaican "Tia Maria" are probably the best known
coffee flavored liqueurs. Other companies produce similar drinks called
Moka, Mocha, Creme de Mocha, & so forth. Coffee is among the easiest
flavors to simulate. We recieved many recipes from our friends that varied
only slightly from one another. It seemed that everyone had made a version
of "Kahlua" at one time & treasured his own recipe.

VARIATION: Substitute rum for the vodka to yeild a simulated "Tia Maria".
Substitute brandy for the vodka for another simulated "Kahlua".

Ingredients:

2 c Water
