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!
Peppermint Mocha Coffee Creamer
Ingredients
- 1 cup half and half
- 2 tablespoons cocoa
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 3 tablespoons honey or more to your desired sweetness
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients into a mason jar and shake, shake, shake until all cocoa and honey is dissolved.
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
