Are you drinking coffee right now?
I am!!
I swore when I was younger that I was not going to become a coffee addict. I would not need a cup of joe to get me going in the morning.
Than Nathan was born…. And didn’t sleep through the night for 2 1/2 years. Coffee was a must!!
When I first started drinking it I liked “my sugar with coffee and cream” (points if you get the Beastie Boys reference) But these days I go with stevia and some 1/2 & 1/2.
The hubby and the teenager however, are both huge fans of flavored creamer (OK me too).
It is so super tasty, but have you ever looked at the label?? YIKES!!

I went on a search for homemade creamer that even my pickiest taste testers would like. I found a recipe that involved sweetened condensed milk, but it turned out to be yucky. So I came up with this!!
oh yum! I tend to just add vanilla extract to me coffee and I was just thinking this morning that I should look for a recipe for syrup or something…. this is perfect!
Thank you so much for sharing at the Oh What a HAPPY Day party.

I’ve done that before too, or a sprinkle of cinnamon, but this is sooooo good!! Hope you like it!
What a fun, simple recipe — and as you say, all of the ingredients are pronounceable. We have lots of goat milk — I’m wondering if I can experiment with that. Thank you for sharing this, and for your unabashed delight of coffee.
I’m a tea person myself, but coffee, tea, or cocoa, hot drinks are an opportunity to slow down, sip, and reflect on life.
I have no idea about the goat’s milk?? But it doesn’t hurt to try!! Let me know if you come up with anything!
Got my husband to give up the “wussie creamer” by sweetening his coffee with brown sugar…and half and half
I love vanilla coffee creamer. It’s the only way I will drink coffee, so I’ve pinned this!
Great!! Thanks for pinning! Hope you like it! I like it so much more than store bought!
LOL – I like that “wussie creamer”. The cane sugar I use in this is similar in taste to brown sugar, although now you have me wondering if brown sugar would be even better…
Going to try this! THANKS for sharing!
Enjoy!!
Great alternative without all the crap! I didn’t get into coffee until a few years ago…and it wasn’t a tired issue. I will make a pot and put it in a pitcher in the fridge. I will take a tall cup and fill half with the chilled coffee half with skim milk and add stevia. Yum! Thanks for sharing this at my Pin Me Party!
Mmmmm, now that sounds good to keep on hand for the summer!

I love this! My husband likes flavored coffee creamer in his coffee, but I love the idea of making it myself for him. Think I am going to give this a try.

Its so much better when you can pronounce the ingredients 🙂 Thanks for stopping by, I’ll be sure to link again!
Thank you for sharing! I like coffee with creamer, but since being pregnant, I can’t stand the SMELL of it! All of those artificial ingredients make me sick. I will definitely have to make this for us!
This is great! Following you over from the Wandering Brain!
This definitely smells better and is way better for a pregnant lady!!
Thanks! And thanks for stopping by!
