[Sca-cooks] Baileys, was Frittering Laurels

[Sue Clemenger]

Yeah, but Selene, how do you know that the folks who make the various 
commercial versions of Irish Cream liqueur don't use ingredients like that?
The bit of coffee is just for a hint of flavor--even coffee haters don't 
notice the addition.  I certainly wouldn't use something like instant 
coffee for a coffee liqueur.  Heck, I don't use it for coffee! <<shudder!!>>
--maire, who will do her own self-frittering tomorrow night, when I'm 
wrapping presents ;o)
