We can’t kick off our day without a good cup of coffee—sometimes two or three, depending on how well we slept the night before. After trying nearly every flavored creamer available, we discovered that when we finally found one we really liked, it was often expensive. Fortunately, we’ve learned how to make delicious homemade creamers in a variety of flavors.

STORAGE TIPS
Store your homemade creamer in glass bottles (we reuse old drink bottles). Since we go through it quickly, I recommend marking the expiration date based on the milk used. For a fun touch, consider using a label maker to create labels for each flavor!
