Best Kahlua I have ever Made

  Kahlua 2021 - Best I have ever tasted

2 oz Medaglia D'oro instant espresso

2 cups brown sugar

2 cups white sugar

2 cups boiling water

2 vanilla beans

2 cups brandy

1 shot chocolate extract

My simple syrup is thicker because I don't use as much water, but the consistency is amazing.

I boil the water with. the sugar and make sure it's all combined, add the espresso powder, wait for it to cool to room temperature.  Add vanilla beans, brandy and chocolate extract.

Bottle and shake a couple times a day for a week, then let sit for another week.  I bottle with the vanilla beans,  it ends up having amazing flavor and doesn't get bitter at all.
