How to Make Low Carb Kahlua Liqueur

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup Splenda (or your preferred sugar substitute), 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee.
Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the Splenda and coffee are completely dissolved. Do not boil.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of vodka.
Let the mixture cool completely.
Carefully pour the liqueur into a clean, empty bottle with a tight-fitting lid.
Store in a cool, dark place for at least 30 days to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it sits, the better it tastes!
