Instructions

• In a small bowl, combine 1 cup strong coffee (or espresso), ½ cup Kahlua, and ¼ cup sugar.
• Stir or whisk continuously until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is uniform, about 1–2 minutes; scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl as you stir.
• If the sugar does not dissolve after stirring, warm the mixture very gently (10‑second microwave bursts or place the bowl over a pan of simmering water), stirring until dissolved; do not boil.
• Let the mixture cool to room temperature. If you will not use it right away, cover and refrigerate until needed.
