Homemade coffee creamers

Coffee… what can I say? I do love me a coffee! I *try* and not drink it all day long, limiting it to one or two in a morning. We use Lavazza coffee, made in a stove top espresso pot. While G drinks his black, I like mine creamy and sweet. If I’m buying one out, a Starbucks Caramel Macchiato is my favourite {unless it’s Autumn then I’m a Pumpkin Spice Latte girl}. Given I have a newborn, a coffee is pretty much an essential in a morning to get me moving.

Buying coffee out gets expensive, so I made a couple of different coffee creamers to keep in at home to make my morning coffee a little more interesting. Quick and easy to make, there is no excuse to have to run to Starbucks ;)

B A S I C ~ C R E A M E R
1 cup of milk {I use soya}
1 cup of cream [again, soya}

Mix the two together, then add in your chosen flavourings. Keep in a jar in the fridge.

These are my favourite four flavours:

R E C I P I E S

HONEY VANILLA
1 tsp Vanilla extract
4 tbsp honey

PUMPKIN SPICE
3 tablespoons pureed pumpkin {you can leave this out and it’ll still taste fab}
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice {I make my own – 4 tbsp ground cinnamon, 4 tsp ground nutmeg & ginger, 3 tsp ground allspice}
4 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

SALTED CARAMEL
2-3 tablespoons caramel sauce
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

CINNAMON CAKE
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 tbls honey
1/8 tsp ground cloves

I usually make the base mix, then split it into 4 small kilner jars and flavour each separately {just remember to adjust the amount of flavourings if you’re making smaller portions}
