The homemade creamer was actually the first DIY that I had tried. I kept seeing friends on Facebook keeping share pictures of the creamer. After about a month I finally thought I needed to give this a try, since I was pretty much buying myself creamer every other a week. I needed an alternative.
After searching a bit, I found several sites, all with different combinations depending on what flavor creamer you wanted. No matter what flavor, they have 2-3 basic ingredients.
Milk (2cups), Sweetened Condensed milk (14oz), and Heavy Whipping Cream( 1/2 pint).
How hard is that?
Now, of course, depending on your diet needs, you can use low fat, non-fat, sugar-free, or what ever your little heart desires. Also, the whipping cream can be left out altogether. I use it only because I feel it adds a nice thicker creamy taste to it.
The only other thing you need is whatever sealable container you have on hand. I personally use my old store-bought coffee creamer jug. If this is what you end up using, just make sure it is the 32 oz size.
Now once you have mixed that all together, here comes the fun part..... the FLAVOR!
The options are endless!
You can have chocolate, vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, mint.... let's see what else? Well, you get the picture. I just have one suggestion. When using solid flavors, like chocolate syrup or cinnamon, add it to the milk first and heat it on the stove for a bit. This will help incorporate them into the creamer better. If you don't you may have floating things in the mix. Umm, yeah, no. (I found this out the hard way.) Next time I will listen to my own advice.
In the end.... This is worth the try.
Happy creating!
