The Better Coffee Creamer


After reading for the umpteenth time how awful store-bought coffee creamers (such as International Delight and CoffeeMate), I have vowed never again to consume their fakey-goodness. In lieu of all those non-food chemicals that taste like real food, I am making my own. And let me tell you, it is just as good, if not better!

Better Coffee Creamer

1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 cup half-n-half (or whole cream, if you are into it)
1/2 tsp good quality pure vanilla extract (optional)
1/4 tsp good quality ground cinnamon (optional)

Place all ingredients in a quart-sized canning jar with a lid. Secure lid and shake well to mix.
Keep refrigerated.

That is it. Add to your coffee knowing that you are not adding horrific chemicals to your coffee or body. That is better, for sure!

There are a lot of different flavors you can add to the basic recipe (in place of the vanilla and cinnamon) - experiment and get creative!
