Make your Own Irish Cream for St. Patrick’s Day

[dropcap2]I[/dropcap2]n honor of St. Patty’s Day, I want to share with you the wonder of making Irish Cream. Homemade Irish cream is decadent and delicious, with a real whiskey kick.  I promise you, Baileys will never taste the same again.  You can put this in your coffee, drink it from a chilled glass, or bottle it to share with your friends. It is the very definition of adult chocolate milk.

1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1 tbsp espresso powder
1 tsp almond extract
1 tbsp vanilla extract

•Put everything in a blender and mix it all up.
•Refrigerate and let the mixture sit for at least an hour to let the flavors meld.
