Basic coffee creamer recipe
There are million different recipes on how to make one of a kind coffee creamer.
Some of them are easy to follow, while others are extremely difficult to follow unless you are a barista or some other coffee expert. However, one thing that is common to every coffee creamer is a base.

When it comes to flavour, options are endless. It all comes down to personal preferences, so you can mix up whatever you want.
Still, some ingredients are more recommended for coffee because they just blend in perfectly. Don’t overdo with ingredients, and add just 1-2 teaspoons at a time, because you don’t want to overpower the coffee flavour.

- French Vanilla: just add two teaspoons of vanilla extract.
- Milk Chocolate: add two tablespoons of chocolate syrup and mix with one teaspoon of cocoa powder.

Milk tips
You can use any milk that you want. The sky’s the limit when it comes to the milky option. You can go with almond, regular, or even rice milk.
For the coffee creamer recipe, you might want to try cashew milk because it has a creamy structure that’s very similar to heavy cream. Remember: heavier the cream juicer of the coffee.
