[low FODMAP] Homemade Kahlua

I want to give props to Highproofspirits.com for inspiring this recipe. We altered it to make it a little simpler and low FODMAP friendly. Technically, according to Monash University, you can drink 4 ounces of this in one sitting and still be “in the green”. As we use maple syrup as the sweetener and it’s only measurement in the app was at 1 ounce of maple syrup is “green”. You may be able to tolerate more, but if we are calling this low FODMAP I just wanted to specify the serving size.

Notes

We took the liberty of testing with a select group of friends.  We altered the recipe and tried: Whiskey vs Vodka, and using a longer infusion.(7 days) 
We did have a vote and the 24 coffee infused vodka was the winner.  A secondary test was that at the end of the night, we had no more 24 hours Vodka Kahlua, it had all been drunk up but we still had both the whiskey and the 7 days Kahlua.  I think that is really the true winner if it gets drunk up.

    I was very surprised how the whiskey picked up the earthy tones of the coffee beans.

    It was excellent and I look forward to using this in my future recipes.
