You will love me for this, Crafty Friends! I’ve learned about a homemade coffee creamer – yummy, delicious and far healthier than store-bought! I’ve made many different flavors and you can certainly experiment with that, but here is one of my hands down favorites -Peppermint Mocha. Mmmmmm! Yep, my mouth is watering just typing it! It adds a certain touch of decadence to your brew. This time of year I’m adding it to my iced coffee for a hot weather treat.
If you try creating different flavors, post your flavor recipe here to share with the rest of us and we’ll enjoy it together – just as coffee was meant to be!

It’s like you’ve learned this just for me! That’s for sharing – it is a wonderful recipe.
I did! I did make it just for you, Amy! HA! I also made a White Chocolate Raspberry Creamer that was really tasty but wasn’t very pretty. The white chocolate chips kept wanting to re-harden in the fridge after being melted. O’well, it was good right off the stove but after being chilled it just wasn’t working for me
Sounds delicious!!!!! Now, if you can find, or make, a recipe for french vanilla coffee creamer, I would be in heaven!!!
I was thinking Pumpkin Spice would be good too.
Paula,
Use the same basic recipe – 1 cup half and half and honey to taste then add vanilla extract. Would be YUMMY!!!
Amy, I thought about pumpkin spice too – how about just adding the pumpkin spices to your half and half and honey mixture? I’m sure it would be excellent!!!
Ooo, I’m not much of a coffee drinker but I love tea lattes. I’m thinking about trying to make a creamer with almond milk and chai seasonings for my tea. If I do, I’ll be sure to post the recipe here. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you for this… looks fabulous (the vanilla version, that is!) Coffee creamer is the one thing I run out of WAY before grocery day…. (because there is nothing better after a long day of 4kidsunder10 than to sit, sip, and knit, lol!!!)
Hi ladies
I hope this is ok to share but I found another site that has a Pumpkin Spice recipe and a French Vanilla. I can’t wait to try your recipe Carli
