Tia Maria Liqueur
"The third recipe of liqueurs my girlfriend gave me oh so long ago. Again I will mention that being a Quebec recipe it asks for "Alcool" which is basically a 40% alcohol. Not sure if alcohol is available in the USA. I love having a glass of this mixed into some milk, absolutely delicious."

This a good recipe except for the quantity of Water. For 25 oz of alcohol, I use 1-1/2 cups of water, not just 1 cup. And BTW, ye you can use Vodka instead of alcohol. Also, the recipe doesn't state the proper cooking instructions. You need to bring the the ingredients to a slow boil for 1 minute then let it simmer on low heat for 5 minutes. Do not over-boil or you will end up with candy! Finally, allow the 5 ingredient mixture to cool properly before adding the alcohol. -
I KNOW this recipe is good, as I've been making it on & off for over 35 years. The only thing I do differently, is increase the vanilla to 1 tablespoon (but that's a personal preference). I think, in the States, you can substitute vodka for the alcohol used in Canada.
