Irish Cream recipe.


Oh yeah, it's dead easy to make your own and perfect for New Years Eve. I saw this recipe on a TV show recently and had a go...it's good alright. I don't drink much, the odd medium dry scrumpy, a gin and tonic here and there, but a glass of Irish Cream during the festive season can lubricate a sore winters throat just nicely....

1. After first washing, sterilise a bottle and it's lid by boiling in water for several minutes, or in a bowl of sterilising fluid (like for baby bottles) or by putting in a hot oven for 10 minutes.
2.Gather your ingredients;
  • One cup of whisky.
  • One cup (tin) of condensed milk.
  • One cup of double cream.
  • One teaspoon of instant coffee dissolved in a little hot water.
  • Two drops of Vanilla Essence
3. Put all the ingredients into a blender and whizz until thoroughly mixed up.
4. Decant the Irish Cream into the sterilised and dry bottle and store in the fridge.

Apparently it will last for between 10 days to two weeks in the fridge, though I can't imagine anyone leaving enough of it in the bottle to find that out....

Enjoy your New Years Eve!
