how to make homemade coffee creamer

I’ve been wanting to try this for awhile. Since I’ve given up my sodas I need coffee to help fill that void. It’s doing a great job. I prefer it iced and with creamer though. So I thought I’d make my own and see if it was as good as store bought. It certainly costs. much less!

The first creamer I made was the French Vanilla Coffee Creamer. 

Check out how easy the French Vanilla Coffee Creamer recipe is.

I will never buy creamer again. To me it tasted just like the stuff I buy in expensive bottles at the store. This was so inexpensive. I paid $1.50 for the condensed milk. I always have milk on hand so I don’t really even count that expense. I also always have vanilla and sugar. So to me the condensed creamer will be used again for the next batch. That’s like .75 for a 16 oz bottle of creamer. Super inexpensive and so quickly made. The next time I make it I’m going to try a mocha. Who doesn’t love chocolate and coffee? I’ll post the recipe as soon as I try it out…oh and I have to run out of the first one. So it’ll probably take me about a week! Check back!

I drank a whole lot of iced coffee in the making of this blog post. Pray for my family as I’m not used to drinking this much caffeine. LOL What kind of creamer would you like to see me make next time? Leave me a comment and let me know!

    I’ve been seeing a lot of foodies talking about making their own coffee creamer. I saved one of my old bottles just for this purpose and have yet to do it. One of these days! I love that you can easily make whatever flavor you want. Great budget friendly recipe! Thanks for linking at Tasty Tuesdays!

      I’m working on the mocha. I can’t do low cal for myself because it has bad side effects on me. 🙁 But I’m working on it for this week, I promise.

    Tried this yesterday for the first time – and I couldn’t figure out why it tasted “off” to me and then it dawned on me…this is coffee WHITENER – not CREAMER! There’s no cream in it whatsoever and frankly I’m one of those who despise milk in coffee (won’t even consider trying a latte because of it). I’ll try this again but instead of milk I’ll use table cream or half and half or something to boost the creamy flavor of it. Its a good idea in theory
