Homemade Coffee Creamer

It's coffee time!! Who doesn't love coffee? Freaks! Just kidding. I know a lot of people don't. In fact I used to never drink coffee, until I had to be at the hospital at 7am in grad school and study at night, I needed a caffeine boost. My mom's advice was to add a ton of creamer or sugar. She's always right!

On Pinterest I saw This website on how to make your homemade creamer so I thought I would give it a try. I did make a slight change to it the recipe but it's pretty fantastic!

Homemade Coffee Creamers

4- 8oz canning jars

Sweetened Condensed Milk

Half and Half

see below for flavor combos

Add equal parts sweetened condensed milk and half and half to each jar. (I used up the whole can of milk and left about an inch of room at the top of each jar for flavorings and shaking space.)

Flavors

Maple Almond - 1 tbsp maple syrup and 1 tsp pure almond extract

Cinnamon Vanilla - 1 tsp cinnamon extract and 1 tsp vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)

Mocha - 2 tbsp cocoa powder and 1 tsp espresso powder

Coffee - 1/2 tbsp espresso powder

Once the flavors are added, screw on the lids and shake them well before refrigerating. Label each jar lid with a sharpie!

Chill them for at least one hour, brew some coffee, and enjoy.

Note: If you're working with powders like cocoa and espresso, shaking won't be enough to get everything fully incorporated, so you'll want to use a blender or food processor, mix, and then pour the creamer into your jar. If you prefer a rich creamer, you can substitute heavy cream for half and half.

I tried the maple almond one, however, I added sugar to mine and it was MUCH better. Enjoy :)
