Description
Homemade coffee creamer with a creamy caramel flavor from brown sugar, vanilla and a touch of salt.
Ingredients
- ¾ cups Water
- ¾ cups Brown Sugar
- ½ teaspoons Vanilla
- ¼ teaspoons Salt
- 2 cups Half-and-half Or Cream
Preparation
Into a saucepan over medium-high heat, add the water and the sugar. Stir until the mixture heats up and the sugar dissolves, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Measure 1 cup of the mixture, also known as simple syrup (save any remaining for another use or discard) and put it into a bowl. Into the 1 cup of simple syrup whisk in the vanilla and salt. Allow the mixture to cool 5-10 minutes and then the 2 cups of half-and-half. Stir well.
Keep creamer in a sealed container (I use a Mason jar) in the refrigerator. Use as you would store-bought coffee creamer. Shake or stir before each use.
Notes:
You can always adjust homemade creamer to your preference. If you like your creamer less sweet, add more half-and-half until your perfect blend is reached. Or if you prefer it sweeter, add less half-and-half.
