Ingredients
Vanilla Coffee Creamer
- 1 cup half and half, cream, evaporated milk, or non-dairy milk (soy, rice, cashew, oat, almond, etc.)
- 1-2 tablespoons sugar or confectioner’s sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1-2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Vanilla Iced Coffee
- 8-16 ounces brewed coffee (hot or chilled)
- Ice cubes (optional, as needed)
Instructions
- Prepare Vanilla Coffee Creamer: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the half and half (or your chosen milk), sugar, and pure vanilla extract. Using a handheld electric mixer, blend the mixture until it is smooth and evenly mixed. Transfer the creamer to a lidded mason jar and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Make Vanilla Iced Coffee with Hot Brewed Coffee: Pour hot brewed coffee over a glass full of ice cubes to quickly chill it. Add the prepared vanilla coffee creamer to taste, stir well to combine, and enjoy immediately.
- Make Vanilla Iced Coffee with Chilled Brewed Coffee: Pour chilled brewed coffee into a glass. Add the prepared vanilla coffee creamer to taste, stir to mix thoroughly. Serve with or without additional ice according to preference.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by increasing or decreasing the sugar to suit your taste.
- Non-dairy milk options work well for a vegan or lactose-free version of this creamer.
- Store the vanilla coffee creamer in the refrigerator and use it within a week for best freshness.
- The coffee strength and amount can be customized depending on how strong or light you prefer your iced coffee.
- For a richer creamer, use half and half or evaporated milk instead of non-dairy alternatives.
