Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh cream or milk (whichever you prefer: whole milk, cream, coconut milk, almond milk, or oat milk)
Sweeteners
- 2 tablespoons sugar, honey, or sweetener of choice
Flavor Extracts
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, hazelnut extract, or caramel extract
Optional Spices
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon or nutmeg
Instructions
- Choose Your Base: Decide on your cream or milk foundation based on your flavor preference and dietary needs. Whole milk or cream offers the richest texture while plant-based milks provide lighter, but still creamy, options.
- Sweeten It Up: Whisk in sugar, honey, or a sweetener of your choice until fully dissolved. This balances your coffee’s natural bitterness perfectly.
- Add Flavor: Stir in your chosen extracts like vanilla or hazelnut along with any optional spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg for that extra aroma pop.
- Blend to Emulsify: Use a whisk or blender to combine all ingredients thoroughly, ensuring a smooth, uniform creamer with no separation.
- Chill and Store: Pour your coffee creamer into a clean container and refrigerate it. It’s best consumed within a week for peak freshness.
Notes
- Temperature matters: Warm your base ingredients slightly before blending for better integration.
- Quality counts: Use high-quality vanilla extract and fresh spices for a noticeable flavor upgrade.
- Adjust sweetness gradually: Add sugar or sweetener incrementally to avoid overpowering your coffee.
- Storage tip: Keep creamer in a tightly sealed bottle to preserve flavor and prevent contamination.
- Experiment safely: Test small batches for new flavor combos before scaling up.
