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.

I made this and used Coconut extract! Amazing!
This recipe is so easy! I wonโt 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!
Very good. I made it with chocolate whole milk 1/4 cup and 3/4 cup 1 percent white milk. Definitely keeping this recipe.
Just made the French Vanilla and it is very good! I’d rather have this than ready made:)
