How to make your own Irish Cream at home

When autumn’s cool weather arrives and the leaves are showing off their pretty fall colors, I believe there is a stirring deep in our soul to cozy up. Starting today, I am doing a little blog series every Wednesday evening on fun, inexpensive ways to do just that ~ cozy up! I hope you will join me.

One thing that we love to have in the cooler seasons is warm drinks out of our favorite mugs. In September, while visiting Dino’s aunt and uncle in California they introduced us to this homemade version of Irish cream. Every night after dinner, we would have a little glass on ice. Oh my, such goodness! Now that we are back in Pennsylvania and the evenings are getting chillier, we love having a hot Irish cream and coffee on the back porch while the sun goes down.

Buy an inexpensive bottle (these came from Target $5.99), and make a simple tag for a perfect holiday gift.

Homemade Irish Cream

Rich and creamy, this comes together in minutes. Recipe makes 32 fluid ounces.

Ingredients

  • 1 and 2/3 Cups Irish Whiskey (I used Jameson)
  • One 14-ounce can Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1 Cup Half-and-Half or Heavy Cream
  • 2 TBSP Chocolate Syrup
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tsp Instant Coffee or Instant Espresso (must be Instant so that it dissolves)

Directions

  1. Combine all ingredients in your blender and blend on high speed until smooth, 30-60 seconds.
  2. Transfer mixture to a glass bottle with a tight-fighting lid and store in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 months.
  3. Shake well before using.

Irish Cream and Coffee: add 2 ounces of Irish cream into a mug and pour 4 ounces of steaming hot coffee over. Serve and Enjoy!

Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn

Sharing a little look inside my studio shed today Sharing a little look inside my studio shed today since I kind of cleaned it up yesterday and now with starting a new project it will be a mess again very soon! I don’t know about you, but I love looking inside other people’s homes and work spaces (and garden too!) They call that being “nebby” in Pittsburgh. Hope you enjoy. Have a beautiful and blessed day friends 💙

P. S. That’s Juney on the bed and Lilikoi (aka Lily) and Alfie in the birdcage. I couldn’t think of their names when I was talking haha!

You can bet that I’ll be making Irish Soda bread You can bet that I’ll be making Irish Soda bread this week. I look forward to it every year. This is my go to recipe, which has vegan options (for my girl @lydia_tavoletti 💚). Seriously no one would guess that there are no eggs or dairy in it. It’s delightful and easy! Grab the recipe on my blog (link in bio and below)

Why I force myself to plant bulbs in the fall🌷🌷🌷
It is cooler today, but all the signs are showing that spring is on its way! #earlyspringflowers #cottagegarden #catsinthegarden
Slowly spring is coming into our living room with Slowly spring is coming into our living room with lots of plants, primroses and forced forsythia. I made a rabbit pillow for the sofa and am just delighted with how he turned out! 

On another note, this weeks shop update is being postponed for next Tuesday. It’s been a week of all the things, drs appointments, car problems, Dino’s sick… just enough blah for me not to have time to finish.  Look for lots of bunnies next week. I may even add a few of these rabbit pillows in different colors…what do you think?
