DIY Coffee Creamer!

Love homemade coffee creamer? Hate not being able to pronounce some of the ingredients on the label? Hate spending an arm and a leg on all natural coffee creamer??? Check out several ways I have discovered to make your own!

#1
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1-2 cups milk (skim,2%,whole...whatever!)
1 1/2 tbsp Vanilla extract

Pour all ingredients into a jar or container and SHAKE! Thats it! It tastes great but sometimes it's a little hard to get it really well mixed...So I tried the next recipe!

#2
3/4 cup dry milk
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup hot water
1-2 cups milk (any kind you like)
1 1/2 tbsp Vanilla Extract

Combine dry milk, sugar and hot water in a jar. Shake until combined. Once cooled add milk and vanilla. Shake again and thats it! It was ok...I would probably try it again will less sugar because it was SUPER sweet. The last thing I tried was....

#3
4 cups Half and Half
1/3 cup sugar
1 tbsp Vanilla
1tsp almond

Warm up 1 cup of half and half with sugar until melted, you can do this on the stove or in the microwave. Once sugar is melted add flavorings and let cool slightly. Pour remaining 3 cups of half and  half into mixture and combine. Best part of this recipe? Pour your liquid BACK into the half and half container. Thats it and its FABULOUS! I think #3 is my FAVORITE one so far. I like it best because you don't have to find a new container to put your mix in and you can buy 2 half and halfs and create 2 different flavor combos! I think next I may try a chocolate almond for myself!
