I've been meaning to try to make my own flavored creamer for a while now. When my sis-in-law came over & said she had tried it & it was so easy & good I got motivated. The next day I whipped up a batch & I don't think I'll ever go back to buying flavored creamers. It is that easy & that cheap. Plus way healthier for you. Here's how...
Ingredients
1 can (14oz) sweetened condensed milk
14 oz milk (just measure using the empty can of sweetened condensed milk)
2 teaspoons of flavoring
Directions
In a pitcher or mason jar pour in all the ingredients. Shake or whisk until mixed well. Pour it in your coffee & enjoy!
If you have actual coffee syrups they work great for flavoring your creamer, you may need to use just a little less. Or you can use cooking flavorings & extracts.
I like just basic sweet cream, so I didn't add any flavoring to half the batch. The other half I put in vanilla (the kind you cook with). Both tasted amazing! Next time I'm going to try french vanilla (1 tsp vanilla & 1 tsp hazelnut). I also want to try to make a peppermint mocha flavor. For this I think I'll add chocolate syrup & peppermint extract. If you have any creamer flavor ideas or experience I'd love to hear it.
I'm going to have to try this for Buck. I hate all the "junk" that's in store bought creamers!
