Tia Maria Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur with Vanilla and 100% Arabica, 700ml

Product Information

This is almost as simple as the first recipe. The only variation is that you add milk, whatever amount to suit your personal taste, and stir. Do you like the idea of coffee liqueurs but find them to be too sweet? By making your own, you can add less sugar syrup to get a not-so-sweet version. Depending on your taste, you can give the liqueur more of a caramelized flavor by first melting the sugar over medium heat until it lightly browns, just like when you make the caramel topping for flan, or you can just make a simple syrup by dissolving the sugar in water over low to medium heat.

But the great thing about making your own Tia Maria is that you get to choose the subtle flavor notes in the beverage which can significantly impact the flavor of the recipes you add it to, especially when making a glass of White Russian! Tia Maria has a bitter coffee taste that’s offset with bits of vanilla and just a subtle touch of citrus. When sipping it alone or on ice, you will get a smooth mouthfeel with just enough of a coffee taste not to overwhelm your tastebuds. If you’re looking for an alternative to Tia Maria or Kahlua, there are a few other coffee liqueurs on the market that you might enjoy. Here are a few options to consider:

In any case, most people tend to associate Kahlua as the sweeter option of the two which is partly why it is also widely used in baking and other dessert beverage recipes.

Tia Maria is great when sipped alone, adding a few ice cubes to diffuse the flavors a bit. It’s also used for treats that feature ice cream and heavy cream, including the famous tiramisu.

Where To Buy

This is why we recommend that you try Kahlua in any of your favorite beverages or even baking goods and then try the liqueur on its own too. This way, when you switch over to Tia Maria, you will understand the flavor notes better.

Also, while you can use any type of coffee for this liqueur, we suggest that you go for high-quality Arabica for the most authentic flavor!
