Author Notes
This coffee creamer is delicious! It uses only 2 ingredients and provides the perfect base for any flavors you can dream up! Included is a recipe for Spiced Vanilla creamer. It's sweet, spicy, rich and addictive. [Note: to add flavoring to a Basic Creamer you made ahead, combine your base and flavorings in a small pot, bring to a light simmer, remove from heat, cover and let steep for 1 hour before straining. Then you can use or refrigerate your flavored creamer.] —Tiffany
