It doesn't feel like an exaggeration to say that investing in one of the best coffee makers has just about changed my life. Since then, I've been on a mission to learn how to make coffee that tastes like I ordered it at my favorite café – and lately I've been trying out all of the best coffee creamer recipes.
While I don't usually love adding syrups or sugar to my espresso, I'm certainly partial to some coffee creamer every once in a while – and since it's the season of the pumpkin spice latte recipe, I've decided to start putting a fall twist on my morning coffee. Here are some of my current favorite coffee creamer recipes.
Ingredients
- Basic coffee creamer: 1 can sweetened condensed milk and 1 + 3/4 cup milk
- Pumpkin coffee creamer: Add 3 tbsp. pumpkin puree, 2 tbsp. maple syrup, and 1 tsp. pumpkin spice
- Cinnamon coffee creamer: Add 2 tsp. ground cinnamon, 1 tsp. almond extract, and 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- French vanilla coffee creamer: Add 1 vanilla pod and 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
- Caramel apple coffee creamer: Add 2 tpsp. caramel syrup, 2 tbsp. apple syrup or apple pie filling, and 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- Irish cream coffee creamer: Add 1 tbsp. cocoa powder, 1 tsp. vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Method
- Combine the milk and sweetened condensed milk with any additional flavorings/sweeteners.
- Whisk all ingredients together until combined, or add to a jar with a tight-fitting lid (this is a great Weck Jar hack) and shake until well blended.
- Refrigerate until ready to use.
