Oh, and if they put cream/milk with the baileys then that can be a problem too. Many of us react to milk/cream as well as starch.

Hi Kleb-slayer, Sorry about the slow response very busy at this time as we all are I'm sure. When my grandparents and dad were alive they spoke Swedish with each other all the time and I was able to piece together some words, enough to know what they were talking about. As for speaking it myself I just know a few words. I do prepare lots of Swedish dishes especially at Xmas and I'm a big fan of pickled herring with hard boiled eggs. Nice to meet you! GOD JUL!

Hi Horsewoman, Thanks for your link to making Baileys will proceed with caution. I'm going to make it for my friends & family at Xmas. I think I will stick to red wine. Nice talking to you & Merry Christmas!

I'm not dairy or sugar free this Christmas so okay for me, but yes not necessarily advisable for others.

Sorry about the double post messed up!

I tried the recipe in http://www.cupcakeproject.com/2009/12/homemade-baileys-irish-cream-youll.html

Delicious lol. I think I used 3 times as much coffee.

I tested the whiskey with iodine, didn't react. I'd be more concerned with the amount of sugar.

I will make it again with half the whiskey.

I don't think I've reacted negatively to it but it's sure risky. Cocoa, lots of milk, lots of sugar.. grain-fermented licour.

I did some googling on the subject of whisky, it is supposed to be gluten free but a lot of celiacs say they react to it. Glutenis a mega no-no for me so I have decided to forgo it and bought some brandy instead, plan to have a go at making something similar with brandy.

Hi Horsewoman, let me know how your recipe turns out. Cheers!

I thought I had posted this already.. but hadn't


The homemade baileys was great and all, and it seems I didn't react to it, I'm not sure, but the next day I made the same recipe with little whiskey and lots of instant coffee. It was delicious. I drank it almost all of it in one day. I reacted badly to it.

I don't know if it was the milk, the whiskey, the amount of sugar or the cocoa. But I was not getting out of it and had to quit dairy again. I'm better now. Little pain only, although some stiffness in the thorax and the forehead. The stiffness in the thorax appeared since my pain everywhere else sort of dissapeared for the first time and I don't know if its a new symptom or I just started noticing it.

Anyway, I would not recommend this recipe, it's very risky.

I made some, I mixed up all the ingredients except the alcohol first, in case it wasn't nice, so I didn't waste brandy lol. I found it too condensed-milky so I used more cream. Saved some spare condensed milk mix and made milk shakes for the kids. Lots of cocoa and coffee as that's what I like. Added the brandy and it tasted just like coffee Baileys except not as strong. We guzzled it in about 3 days lol. Jersey cream vanilla ice cream with espresso and Baileys... OMG... but I shouldn't speak of such things now I am back on the post-festivity straight and narrow lol. It made having to watch the third Transformers film with my 9 yr old a lot more bearable!!

Back to no dairy except butter now. Pass the dry red wine lol.
