I drink mine black but every once in a while I like a little sweetness. This looked appealing and if you are into natural with less preservatives, dyes, etc, you may like this too.

Homemade Coffee Creamer – Over 2 Dozen Flavor Varieties!
SHARE this to your TIMELINE so you won't lose it.

For whatever flavor of creamer you want, you start off with the same basic ‘base’ recipe.

14oz sweetened condensed milk
1 3/4 cup milk or cream (whole, lowfat, skim, almond, soy, heavy cream, half & half etc – whatever your preference, however the more fat, the more creaminess)

Mix the ingredients together well. Add them to a mason jar and shake it like crazy or you could also opt to use an old (washed) creamer container.

Directions & Tips:
In all these recipes, anything that has a dry or thick ingredient (like cinnamon, honey, etc..) should be heated up with a small amount of your milk/cream from the base recipe so it can dissolve properly. You don’t want grainy creamer! Then, add the rest of the milk/cream along with the sweetened condensed milk.

If you want really creamy creamer, use heavy cream instead of milk in your base recipe.

You'll want to stick a piece of tape on they mason jar lid with the expiration date from the milk used. Use this as a guideline as to when the creamer should be used by.

Please feel free to play around with amounts of extracts and other ingredients used if you like stronger or less intense flavors!! And, let your imagination turn, and make up your own combinations. Use this as inspiration to create your very own perfect homemade flavored creamer!

As a treat, I'll add cinnamon to my plain old coffee grounds prior to brewing. It's amazing and makes the house smell fabulous.

Cool ideas! But I like mine black - Dunkin' Donuts, fresh ground from the beans. Hills Brothers used to appeal to me as well because of the chicory blend, but I outgrew that taste. For the most part, I've avoided creamers and flavorings and sugar, but truthfully, I haven't experimented with them much. I did go through a brief phase of adding cinnamon to the grounds - the same kind of thing can be done by adding vanilla sticks to the beans in the grinder. But I'm not all that interested in blonde coffee.

I thought this was a thread about the way overpriced and over rated Starbucks. I'm sure that will come.

Lately I've been enjoying mine with a big dollop of homemade whipped cream. I like to sweeten the cream with a little powdered sugar and sometimes a little Madagascar vanilla. I'm looking forward to some pumpkin spice coffee with whipped cream and sprinkled with freshly grated nutmeg. :yahoo:

I take mine black with a little regular sugar, home brewed Folgers Classic Roast or Wawa's Columbian.
