homemade baileys

[dylan1959]

has any1 got an easy to understand recipe for baileys-most recipes state cup measurements -what size cup- fluid ounces would be much easier tia

[gingejbee]

A cup equates to 8 fl.oz. - give or take.

[ummmm]

You can buy cups, with fluid ounces on them, for £1.99 in Morrisons.

I didn't know you could make your own Baileys. That's good news :-)

If dealing with the alcoholic ingredients, go for a C cup.

Ingredients
400g tin of sweetened condensed milk
250ml single cream (use a \'long life\' cream not \'fresh\' cream ..you\'ll find them on the shelves in supermarkets as they don\'t require refrigeration)
250ml of whiskey (pref.Irish but not a must)
1 tsp of instant coffee granules
2 tbsp dark chocolate syrup/sauce
2 level tsps of caramel flavoured \'coffee syrup\' (used to flavour coffee)
1 little packet of real Bourbon Vanilla Sugar



Method
1. Sprinkle the vanilla sugar into the whiskey and allow it to dissolve before continuing.
2. Place all of the ingredients in a blender and blend using the pulse setting on your machine. Don\'t blend too much otherwise you\'ll end up with whipped cream. Don\'t worry if you think it looks too thin...it will thicken up slightly once its been in the fridge.
3. Pour the finished cream into a sterilized bottle, seal and store in the fridge. Shake before use. It will keep for up to four weeks (unopened) but the flavour will change over time and i prefer to use it within the first 1-2 weeks of making it.
