Directions & Tips:
In all these recipes, anything that has a dry or thick ingredient (like cinnamon, honey, etc..) should be heated up with a small amount of your milk/cream from the base recipe so it can dissolve properly. Then, add the rest of the milk/cream along with the sweetened condensed milk.
If you want really creamy creamer, use heavy cream instead of milk in your base recipe.

  • Sounds good. I will try this for at home. My only RV related concerns would be that you have to keep this stuff refrigerated all the time while traveling and the cost to make it is probably higher than coffee mate. While traveling in the RV I usually just use the powdered coffee creamer. I know it is not as healthy nor tastes as good as your recipe but it's easier to store and economical.
  • Coffee is coffee! I never could understand why so-called coffee drinkers are so eager to make this drink taste like something else! You need a creamer? Try powdered milk.
  • Thanks, I make the French Vanilla version, instead of 2 teaspoons of vanilla I use 3 teaspoons. I like making it because the taste is not so over powering compared to the store brands.
