Ingredients
Scale
1 cup Half and Half (or milk/cream combination for desired richness)
1 cup Whole Milk
3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
1 tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract
Instructions
Combine the half and half, whole milk, and granulated sugar in a small saucepan.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is hot, but do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat.
Stir in the pure vanilla extract.
Allow the creamer to cool to room temperature.
Pour the cooled mixture into an airtight container, such as a glass jar or bottle.
Store the homemade coffee creamer in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Notes
For a richer, cafe style coffee creamer at home, substitute the whole milk with heavy cream.
If you prefer a stronger vanilla flavor, use vanilla bean paste instead of extract.
To make a brown sugar coffee creamer recipe, replace the granulated sugar with packed light brown sugar.
For a healthy homemade coffee creamer option, you can substitute the sugar with your preferred liquid sweetener, like maple syrup, adjusting to taste.
