How to Make Your Own Healthy Coffee Creamer at Home
Are You A Coffee or Tea Drinker? Standard creamers can contain large amounts of added sugars, which could compromise your health. But here’s good news – making your own healthy coffee creamer at home is both budget friendly and delectable! Here’s how!
DIY creamer allows you to explore different flavor combinations that meet your individual preferences, including pumpkin spice, French vanilla or other not available in store-bought options.
Make Your Own Coffee Creamer is also great because you have control of how much sweetener and other ingredients go into it, including natural sweeteners like maple syrup or stevia that will reduce both calorie and sugar intake without compromising flavor. Furthermore, milks with various fat contents allow you to customize its creamy texture!
DIY coffee creamer is both simple and cost-effective! All it requires are some pantry ingredients you likely already possess along with this easy yet delectable recipe that will add the finishing touch to your morning cup of joe!
This dairy free coffee creamer features coconut milk for its creamy texture and rich taste, along with medium-chain triglycerides known to support sustained energy as well as satiety and immune function. If almond or cashew milk is more suitable, use that instead.
To create this recipe, combine all the ingredients in a small pot over medium heat. Whisk to mix everything and wait until tiny bubbles appear around the edge of the pot (but don’t let it boil!). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla bean pods to give your creamy coffee creamer extra flavor!
If you don’t have vanilla beans on hand, vanilla extract can also be substituted; just be sure to add it after taking off from the heat as high temperatures could cause its alcohol-containing components to evaporate and make your vanilla useless!
Homemade coffee creamer should be stored in an airtight jar or bottle, and kept refrigerated for at least one week. For easy portability, glass mason jars or tin cans also make great containers; just be sure that its lid has an airtight seal that prevents it from spoiling or spilling while in your fridge.
