So have you ever got up on a Friday morning before work or sending your significant other out the door to work and discovered...ALL the milk and creamer in the house is gone?! In our house my husband and I struggle on a daily basis to help our teenage son recognize he really isn't the only person living in this house. When it comes to food, I think he thinks we are simply here to fill it up just for him! So it becomes my job to pull out all creativity from the heavens above and, well, Pinterest! Oh yes, although creative on my own, even I need the boost of creativity that others leave online. And today, yes today, it pulled me through! YAY!!!! The downer, the recipe I found of course called for what else...MILK! Which of course, my son finished off without letting anyone know. Four gallons of milk a week and by Friday none. *SIGH* , back to the drawing board. So off to the Mother Hubbard's Cupboard...will I find it empty with not even a crumb of creative motivation or will I find a creativity smorgasbord? Ahhh creative smorgasbord it has been! Throw it all in any available Mason Jar and you are off and running....just in time to keep a hard working hubby in French Vanilla coffee all day long to finish off a long stressful work week. Yes, I am one of a few women in this world that caters to her husband every morning by making him coffee and packing him a lunch. I even write him little notes on his napkins to make him smile. Old fashioned, yes, but I am an old fashioned kind of lady and love it! So for all of you out there that love quick and easy do I have a recipe for you! This would be great with any flavor you would want to experiment with for your morning java. Homemade coffee creamer would also make a great gift for any coffee lover and I would say, it's probably better for you since it has less preservatives and additives than what you buy at the grocery store. Not a bad deal! Happy Coffee Day All! Let me know what you think.
Dreamy French Vanilla Coffee Creamer
12oz can Evaporated Milk
14 oz can of Sweetened Condensed Milk (you will use 7oz)
1/2 cup French Vanilla Torani Coffee Syrup or flavor of your choice
1 tbsp vanilla extract
Pour it all in a pint size Mason jar, put the lid on, and shake until mixed. Take a taste and you can add more syrup as needed depending on how sweet you want your creamer to turn out. Keep refrigerated after making, should keep for a week....if it lasts that long!
ENJOY!
