Homemade Hazelnut Coffee Creamer (with optional maple syrup)
Making your own coffee creamer is an easy 5 minute project you can do once a week! Delicious, healthy and frugal!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk (or additional cream)
- 1/3-/1/2 cup evaporated cane juice or other preferred sweetener
- 1/4 teaspoons hazelnut extract (taste first then adjust the amount if it needs more flavor) -depending on the extract you use, it can be really strong!
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- optional tiny pinch salt and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Combine milk and sweetener in a small pot (Use less- about 3 tablespoons of the sweetener if you will be adding maple syrup)
- Heat slowly for about 10 minutes stirring often. The purpose of this is only to dissolve the sweetener
- Remove from heat and pour into a jar or other storage bottle
- Add the cream, hazelnut extract and maple syrup if using. (Hazelnut extract can be strong! Don't use too much! Start with less and add more as you prefer.)
- Add optional salt and vanilla
- Shake well and store in the fridge
Notes
This will last about a week in the fridge.
Hazelnut extract that I use - it is a very strong kind- start with less and add more!
