Make rich, creamy homemade coffee creamer using just five simple, natural ingredients. This quick recipe tastes better than store-bought and lets you control the sweetness for your morning coffee routine upgrade.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Half and Half (or milk/cream combination for desired richness)
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 cup Water

Instructions

  1. Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar completely dissolves and the mixture is clear. This creates a simple syrup.
  2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sugar mixture cool for about 5 minutes.
  3. Pour the slightly cooled sugar syrup into a jar or airtight container.
  4. Add the half and half, vanilla extract, and salt to the container.
  5. Seal the container tightly and shake well until all ingredients are fully combined and the mixture looks uniform.
  6. Store your homemade coffee creamer in the refrigerator. Shake gently before each use.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free coffee creamer, substitute the half and half with full-fat canned coconut milk or a blend of oat milk and cashew cream.
  • To make a sugar free coffee creamer, replace the granulated sugar with your preferred granular sweetener, like erythritol or monk fruit blend, adjusting the amount to your taste.
  • For a richer texture, use heavy cream instead of half and half. This makes a sweet cream coffee recipe base.
  • If you want brown sugar coffee creamer, substitute the granulated sugar with light brown sugar and slightly increase the heat time to ensure the brown sugar dissolves fully.
