Frequently Asked Questions

Storing Creamer Tips

  • Storing – Store your homemade creamer in a mason jar or a sealed container. We recommend using the creamer within about 2 weeks of making it or before your milk expires. Store in the back of your fridge as that seems to be the coldest area.
  • Freezing – We do not recommend freezing homemade creamer as the dairy does not freeze well.

    This recipe is so easy! I wonโ€™t buy coffee creamer again! I use half and half and flavor with vanilla and it reminds me of sweet cream. Thank you for the recipe!
