Easy Homemade Coffee Creamer in Minutes

March 11, 2015 Amy 13 Comments

Who likes to start the morning off right with a nice hot cup of coffee?

Coffee is my one indulgence everyday no matter what.

It has has to taste good and be smooth and oh so creamy. I have been making my own homemade coffee creamer for awhile now and I think this is perfect combination that is close to store bought. I can tell the difference in fresh homemade creamer and the one at the store with added chemicals for flavoring. Once you start you will not want to go back to the other creamer.

How Long Will This Coffee Creamer Last?

This is enough coffee creamer for two of us who drink about two cups of coffee every day. We use about two tablespoons per cup to last about a week. That is the basic steps to make the base of the coffee creamer. Plain coffee is boring, don’t you agree? Let’s spice it up a bit with more flavors to make your mornings more flavorful and exciting with the easy recipes found below. A good cup of coffee in the morning really sets my day.

    I spend WAY too much money every week on Coffee Mate’s Natural creamer. I knew I couldn’t be the only one who felt like it’s just too much “work” to put sugar and cream in my coffee and stir it up. Wow I feel like a loser just typing that. I kept my creamer bottles for crafty stuff so my next step is going to be to refill them with this. How easy!

    I want to make sweetened condensed milk with half n half and honey. Is this thick enough or should I cook it down?

      I think that would be plenty thick enough, Gina.
