INSTRUCTIONS
- Mix the ingredients together well.
- Add them to a mason jar.
- Shake it vigorously to combine it.
Notes: In all these recipes, anything that has a dry or thick ingredient (like cinnamon, honey, etc..) should be heated up with a small amount of your milk/cream from the base recipe so it can dissolve properly. Then, add the rest of the milk/cream along with the sweetened condensed milk.
If you want really creamy creamer, use heavy cream instead of milk in your base recipe.
You’ll want to stick a piece of tape on they mason jar lid with the expiration date from the milk used. Use this as a guideline as to when the creamer should be used by. Remember, it’s only going to be as good as what you use. Cheap vanilla flavoring is not vanilla extract.
