Brew coffee according to desired strength.

Turn coffee maker off and let cool.

Pour some of the coffee into 6 clean popsicle molds.

Spoon some sugar, milk and Kahlua into each of the popsicle molds.

Put posicle sticks and lid on the popscile molds and put them in the freezer until frozen.

When you're ready to serve, remove popsicles from freezer.

Warm popsicle molds underneath some hot water for a second to loosen the popsicles.
