Coffee Creamer Recipe

Sweetened condensed milk: This thick, sweet milk is made by removing most of the water from regular milk and adding sugar. It provides the sweetness and creamy texture for the creamer.

Milk: You can use any type of milk you prefer, whether it's whole milk, skim milk, or a non-dairy alternative like almond or soy milk. This ingredient helps to thin out the condensed milk and create a pourable consistency.

Vanilla extract: This adds a warm, aromatic flavor to the creamer, enhancing the overall taste of your coffee.

For a smoother consistency, ensure that the sweetened condensed milk and milk are at room temperature before mixing. This helps the ingredients blend more easily and prevents any lumps from forming.

• sweetened condensed milk - Substitute with evaporated milk and sugar: Combine evaporated milk with an equal amount of sugar to mimic the sweetness and thickness of sweetened condensed milk.

• sweetened condensed milk - Substitute with coconut milk and sugar: Mix coconut milk with sugar to achieve a similar creamy texture and sweetness, adding a slight coconut flavor.

• any kind milk - Substitute with almond milk: Use almond milk for a dairy-free option that still provides a creamy consistency.

• any kind milk - Substitute with oat milk: Oat milk offers a neutral flavor and creamy texture, making it a good alternative to regular milk.

• vanilla extract - Substitute with almond extract: Almond extract provides a different but complementary flavor profile, adding a nutty note to the creamer.

• vanilla extract - Substitute with maple syrup: Maple syrup adds sweetness and a unique flavor, making it a versatile substitute for vanilla extract.

• To keep your homemade coffee creamer fresh and delicious, store it in an airtight container. A glass jar with a tight-fitting lid works perfectly.
• Place the container in the refrigerator. Your coffee creamer will stay fresh for up to 7-10 days.
• Before each use, give the container a good shake to ensure all ingredients are well mixed. Separation is natural, especially with homemade recipes.
• If you want to make a larger batch and save some for later, freezing is a great option. Pour the coffee creamer into ice cube trays and freeze until solid.
• Once frozen, transfer the creamer cubes to a freezer-safe bag or container. This method allows you to thaw just the amount you need.
• To thaw, simply place a few cubes in a glass container and let them sit in the refrigerator overnight. Alternatively, you can thaw them in a microwave-safe dish using the defrost setting.
• Remember, homemade coffee creamer doesn't contain preservatives like store-bought versions, so always check for any signs of spoilage before use. If it smells off or has an unusual texture, it's best to discard it.

• Pour the coffee creamer into a small saucepan.
• Heat over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
• Once warmed to your desired temperature, remove from heat and use immediately.

Alternatively:

• Pour the coffee creamer into a microwave-safe container.
• Microwave on medium power for 20-30 seconds.
• Stir well and check the temperature. If needed, continue microwaving in 10-second intervals until warmed through.

• Mixing bowl: A large container used to combine the sweetened condensed milk, milk, and vanilla extract.

• Whisk: A utensil used to blend the ingredients together until they are well combined.

• Storage container: A container with a lid used to store the creamer in the refrigerator.

Use a blender: Combine sweetened condensed milk, milk, and vanilla extract in a blender for a faster, smoother mix.

Batch preparation: Double or triple the recipe and store extra coffee creamer in the fridge to save time on future batches.

Pre-measure ingredients: Measure out the sweetened condensed milk, milk, and vanilla extract ahead of time to streamline the process.

Use a funnel: Pour the mixture into the storage container using a funnel to avoid spills and save cleanup time.
