Answer 2

Homemade Kahula

8 cup Sugar
4 cup Water
1 cup Freeze Dried Instant Coffee, Maxwell House ?
2 x Vanilla Beans, Sliced Lengthwise
2 qt Vodka (you can use pga or brandy too)
2 gal container, empty

1. Boil the water and add the sugar and the coffee. Let it cool to room temperature.
2. In the empty gallon jug, put the vodka and the sliced vanilla bean.
When the sugar/coffee mixture is cool, add that to the jug.
3. Cap it tightly and put it under the sink for a month, shaking it gently every other day or so, if you remember.
30 days later, enjoy!! It tastes enough like Kahula to make the MASSIVE cost savings give it the flavor of liquid gold.
