I am wondering if anyone has a recipe for a good tasting coffee creamer. I ask not only to save some money, but to get an alternative to half and half and evaporated milk, to lower my cholesterol.
I eat a mostly plant-based diet, and so to me the best cream can be made with soaked cashews
you can either make straight-up cream like for whipped desserts, or put in coffee as is, or dilute with almond milk to get more of a half and half type product
I have used this recipe a lot and LOVE IT - only caveat is it does not have a very long shelf life
I went cold turkey a few years ago and dropped cream to cut calories.
I like cinnamon in my coffee or nutmeg, or if I crave sweetness, a drop of maple syrup or honey.
If I want a little extra treat, I have found the Maxwell House International Café Flavored Instant Coffee mixes on sale (after the holidays usually) and I combine it with a coupon, and I use a teaspoon of that in my coffee to give it a little zip.
Enjoy!!!
Hi,
I would suggest using almond milk, or coconut milk as a coffee creamer. Also, you can use several drops of pure vanilla or almond extract. You can also use dried milk as a coffee creamer as well.
I like to keep those little cans of condensed milk, this is the sweet kind that is like caramel. A little of this goes great with coffee, but it is so sweet.
Blessings,
Robyn
Everybody has their own personal ideas as to what makes coffee "good" so you will probably hear a lot of different suggestions.
If you like to try different flavors you might want to try flavor syrups for coffee/milk as these come in sugar-free blends as well and only take a small amount to flavor a cup.

Here is also a site that has suggestions to try.

I am looking for non-dairy coffee flavoring recipes and/or products. The ready-made flavorings create considerable gastric distress for me.
I just found that an almond-coconut milk works well for me, so if I can figure out the caramel-like flavor to add, it'll probably work.Start with plain dry milk and add powdered flavorings like Kool Aid packets. Not sure how to get a caramel flavor, though. Extracts would make the milk moist.
A can of lite coconut milk
Pure vanilla extract and
Pure maple syrup
Mix together and put a little in your coffee.
