As the days grow colder and nights grow longer the kitchen becomes an inviting place to gather.  Homemade gifts truly share a piece of your heart.  This Coffee and Chocolate Liqueur is an ideal holiday hostess gift.

25 oz. milk

½ cup cocoa

1½ cups white sugar

8 oz. Vodka ( try locally made Iced Glen it is Excellent)

¼ cup Orange Vanilla Sugar

½ tbsp Coffee & Chocolate Spice

Heat the milk. Add sugar, Orange Vanilla Sugar, cocoa, and Coffee & Chocolate Spice, cook, stirring. Let cool a bit then add the alcohol. Let cool in a pan of water. Strain and pour into bottles. Put a nice label or hang tag on the bottle dated two weeks ahead, stating that the liqueur should not be used until that date. A nice addition would be a recipe for a Chocolate Martini and this recipe so they can make their own Coffee & Chocolate Liqueur to give!
