I love to make my own creamer! I'll take half and half or heavy cream and heat it on the stove and add brown sugar and a cinnamon stick and I end up with a great flavored creamer with none of the preservatives in the store-bought stuff. I've seen tons of recipes online too, so you can probably make just about any flavor you want.
Why don't you put the condensed milk in the mason jar first, then pour the milk into the condensed milk can? That way you can get all the contents out of the can.
If you gently heat the milk and sweetened condensed milk over the stove just until it starts to steam and the condensed milk has disolved through the mixture, then it won't seperate once it cools and you won't need to shake it like hell every time you use it. Add the vanilla after it cools down so the flavor doesn't cook off. throw a cinnamon stick broken up into a few pieces into the milk while it's heating and it's a a very good dupe for the starbucks cinnamon dolce creamer. Or do a variety of whole spices (cinnamon, clove, cardamom, star anise, peppercorns) for a chai style flavor. Also, using a non-dairy milk (I like oat) will make the mixture more stable and it won't leave a film on top of your coffee as it cools.
I use the International Delight French Vanilla and nothing compares to it (to me) flavor wise but I recently found out there is nothing but chemicals in it -not even any dairy! I feel naive for not knowing that but was mind blown. So I got a natural creamer option from Sam’s but it just taste like super sugary milk. Maybe I’ll try adding vanilla extract to it? Lol I’m desperate for a comparable alternative.
I was going to make my own coffee creamer until I realized that it's a. not as good as store-bought creamer b. more expensive than store-bought creamer and c. has way more sugar in it than store-bought creamer and yet somehow doesn't taste as sweet. I'll stick with my creamer.
I have been making my own creamer for many years. Swap out the vanilla for 1/3 of a cup of any Torani syrup you like. I like either French vanilla, hazelnut or caramel. It’s so much better than those chemically tasting ones you buy in the grocery store.
We don’t have creamers in the UK, we have good ol’ milk, or cream.. lol! You just add sugar or sweetener for the sweetness. Of course coffee shops have syrups etc, but for the most part we have milk (or your preferred non dairy alternative) & sugar :) That’s how we make British tea too; tea bag, sugar / sweetener if you choose, hot water, remove the tea bag, add milk of choice, stir, that’s it!

Tiffany at LargeFamilyLove use to make this.
My son loves commercial creamers, but it is made of mostly chemicals. I will give this a try.
They sell hazelnut extract. I add both vanilla and hazelnut to my creamer. 😍☕
My favorite is whole milk, real maple syrup, and vanilla! Especially in iced coffee 😃
Sounds yummy but must have 500 CALORIES PER CUP!!! !
Cool mason jar/lid!
We use this recipe daily! Love it. No more upset stomach from all that oil in the store brand.

I am a tea drinker who normally uses International or Carnation Vanilla Creamer. I am Lactose intolerant but can have a little dairy.
Sounds good. I use condensed milk as a backup sometimes when i don't have milk. And add cinnamon just to change up the flavor:-)
Thank you, I just made this and it’s good!!
it's so good to make your own
I've heard about this before but never got a complete recipe for it. Thank you so much for this, I'm definitely going to try it!
I have been doing this for a long time. I use nonfat 1/2 and 1/2 for the milk. for extra richness, use nonfat evaporated milk.
