4 Easy Tips For Making My Homemade Vanilla Coffee Creamer
I use brown sugar because I like the nuanced molasses note, but you could use granulated sugar, honey, or even maple syrup. I only use 1/2 cup of sugar for the whole batch, but if you like things very sweet, bump it up to 3/4 cup.
Once that milky syrup cools down, add in your preferred “base milk.” I like to use whole milk, but anything from 1% to half-and-half works.
Flavor it to your taste. I like using pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste. If you want to spice things up, toss a few cinnamon sticks or cardamom pods into the milk while it simmers, then strain and let cool before using.
For reference, label your homemade creamer with the sell-by date on the milk you used. Once you hit that date, check your creamer. If it smells off or is no longer smooth, discard it.
