For you coffee drinkers...

This time of year I break out my recipe box for some of my favorite comfort foods & drinks.  Just got done making homemade Irish Cream (aka Baileys) which I LOVE in my coffee.  Best thing about it...you can make it as strong or weak as you like...me, I prefer using dang near a half bottle instead of a third...and man, does it put a little glow in my cheeks after one cup of coffee.  My honey is on his way home right now...and I think he might just score a little luvin' when he arrives 

Recipe for anyone who'd like to try it, has been around in my family for about 30 years although I'm sure there are several on the internet as well.

3 eggs
1 can sweetened condensed milk
3 tablespoons chocolate syrup
3 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons cream of coconut
1/3rd bottle Irish Whiskey

Mix all ingredients into a blender, blend about 3 minutes.  Pour into container(s) and store in refrigerator.

mmmm  mmm mmm thank you so much hymacaw.. i am a coffee drinker to the heart.. gotta have my coffee, it's like don't even speak to me til i have it in my system, my hand is crimped for the mug handle, it's like somethings missing if i don;t have a cup in my hand.. lol i get excited when i smell it!

Yup...me too Imag..don't even think about looking me in the eyes in the morning til I've had at minimum, two big cups of coffee.  I have the best husband ever...he doesn't drink coffee...but he always makes sure there is a pot of coffee ready to brew each morning before he leaves the house...just cuz

That is some BEAUTIFUL love hymacaw.. you are blessed

I'm a coffee addict too, I can't start my day without it. You are really lucky Hymacaw to have your husband making coffee, I have another system in place with my wife: we take turns I admit that sometimes I try to skip my turn though

I'm not a big coffee drinker but I love the "baileys" recipe.  I will certainly be trying that out.  Tea does it for me but I don't think a shot of baileys would work with tea.

excellent recipe...thanks a lot

That's sounds delish hymacaw. I had some Baileys in my coffee yesterday morning and I wondered if it was just a bit too early. I figured it was 5 o'clock somewhere and poured on.

        Now that sounds like it would really help on Monday mornings.

I am going to definitely make this. It sounds so richly luscious. Would be a great recipe for holiday get togethers and cold winter days.

Thanks!
