It&#8217;s pretty simple and you just put the ingredients in a blender. After some research I came up with a recipe that looked about right, as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>400ml\/14oz &#8211; Sweetened Condensed milk<\/li><li>1cup (250ml) Cream (heavy)<\/li><li>1 2\/3 cups Irish whiskey<\/li><li>1tbs espresso (some say 2)<\/li><li>2tbs chocolate syrup<\/li><li>1 tsp vanilla essence (try 2)<\/li><li>1 tsp almond essence<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Method<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Made the first batch and had to spend +1.5 hours attempting to make condensed milk with cream and sugar as it was unavailable in stores in Istanbul. When attempting to blend all the ingredients together in the blender &#8211; there was a fair bit of curdling. However with some\u00a0 skimming and straining it though a fine sieve the finish product was, dare I say &#8211; better than Mr R.A. Bailey&#8217;s concoction.\u00a0 <br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the next attempt, going on advice I&#8217;ve read, seems that you should add the whiskey last and very also very gradually to avoid curdling. Seems the\u00a0 blender must be at a very slow speed as well in order to avoid curdling, so I might just combine it all by hand next time and see what happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mckinstry.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/3e0ce3d1-3f26-4c08-803a-11c5973e9a02-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/mckinstry.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/3e0ce3d1-3f26-4c08-803a-11c5973e9a02-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2507\" width=\"358\" height=\"479\"\/><\/a><figcaption>The finished Product<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmckinstry.ca%2F%3Fp%3D2505&amp;t=Irish%20Cream%20Recipe\" id=\"facebook_share_button_2505\" style=\"font-size:11px; line-height:13px; font-family:'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; text-decoration:none; display: -moz-inline-block; display:inline-block; padding:1px 20px 0 5px; margin: 5px 0; height:15px; border:1px solid #d8dfea; color: #3B5998; background: #fff url(http:\/\/b.static.ak.fbcdn.net\/images\/share\/facebook_share_icon.gif) no-repeat top right;\">Share<\/a>\n\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n\t<!--\n\tvar button = document.getElementById('facebook_share_link_2505') || document.getElementById('facebook_share_icon_2505') || document.getElementById('facebook_share_both_2505') || document.getElementById('facebook_share_button_2505');\n\tif (button) {\n\t\tbutton.onclick = function(e) {\n\t\t\tvar url = this.href.replace(\/share\\.php\/, 'sharer.php');\n\t\t\twindow.open(url,'sharer','toolbar=0,status=0,width=626,height=436');\n\t\t\treturn false;\n\t\t}\n\t\n\t\tif (button.id === 'facebook_share_button_2505') {\n\t\t\tbutton.onmouseover = function(){\n\t\t\t\tthis.style.color='#fff';\n\t\t\t\tthis.style.borderColor = '#295582';\n\t\t\t\tthis.style.backgroundColor = '#3b5998';\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\tbutton.onmouseout = function(){\n\t\t\t\tthis.style.color = '#3b5998';\n\t\t\t\tthis.style.borderColor = '#d8dfea';\n\t\t\t\tthis.style.backgroundColor = '#fff';\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t}\n\t}\n\t-->\n\t<\/script>\n\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/mckinstry.ca\/?p=2505\"><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/mckinstry.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/3e0ce3d1-3f26-4c08-803a-11c5973e9a02-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"alignleft tfe wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a><p>So I reckoned, given the cost of a bottle of imported bottle of Baileys here in Istanbul, that it might be worth having a stab at making the stuff.
