Ingredients
- 1 cup milk (any type)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or sugar
Instructions

- 5 cups of liquid.
- Pour the milk into the jar, using your preferred type of milk (whole, skim, almond, oat, or coconut milk).
- Add the heavy cream to the milk, which will provide a rich and creamy texture to the coffee creamer.
- Measure and add the pure vanilla extract, ensuring it is high-quality for the best flavor profile.
- Add maple syrup or sugar, stirring gently to help the sweetener dissolve completely.
- Seal the jar tightly and shake vigorously for 30-45 seconds to thoroughly combine all ingredients.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or vanilla intensity if desired by adding small amounts of sweetener or extract.
- Refrigerate immediately and use within 5-7 days for optimal freshness and flavor.

Tips
- Choose Your Milk Wisely: Experiment with different types of milk, such as almond, oat, or coconut, to find the flavor that best complements your coffee. Each type offers a unique taste and texture!
- Quality Matters: Use high-quality vanilla extract for the best flavor. The difference between pure vanilla and imitation vanilla can significantly impact the final taste of your creamer.
- Sweetness Level: Start with the recommended amount of maple syrup or sugar, but feel free to adjust according to your preference. You can always add more, but you can’t take it out!
- Storage is Key: Make sure to store your creamer in a clean glass jar with a tight-fitting lid to maintain freshness. It’s best enjoyed within 5-7 days, so keep an eye on the date!
- Shake It Up: Since natural ingredients can separate during storage, give your creamer a good shake before each use to ensure a smooth, consistent texture.
- Versatile Uses: This creamer isn’t just for coffee! Try it in tea, smoothies, or even drizzled over pancakes for a delicious twist.
