A clear glass cup with a handle sits on a white round coaster placed on a dark metal tray, against a white marbled textured background. The cup shows three layers: a bottom light creamy tan layer made by milk or cream, a dark brown coffee layer above it, and white cream being poured from above creating soft swirls mixing into the dark coffee layer. Scattered coffee beans rest on the tray around the coaster, adding rich brown accents to the scene. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Step 5: Store the creamer in the refrigerator and use within 7 days for the best taste and freshness.

Tips & Variations

For a dairy-free version, substitute half & half and heavy cream with coconut milk or almond milk creamers.

Use honey or a sugar substitute instead of granulated sugar for a sugar-free option.

Adjust the amount of extracts to suit your flavor preferences, adding more for a stronger taste.

Shake the creamer well before each use, as separation may occur naturally.

Experiment with different combinations of extracts to create new seasonal flavors.

Storage

Store the homemade creamer in a sealed container or jar in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Before each use, give it a good shake or stir since natural separation is normal. Reheat only if desired by warming a small amount before adding to coffee; avoid heating large quantities to preserve flavor.
