Coffee creamer is a dairy product or non-dairy substitute that is added to coffee to enhance its flavor and texture. It can be made from milk, cream, half-and-half, or a combination of these ingredients. Coffee creamer can also be flavored with a variety of ingredients, such as vanilla, chocolate, caramel, or hazelnut. In this article, we will provide recipes for both homemade and store-bought coffee creamers. We will also discuss the different types of coffee creamers available and how to choose the best one for your needs.

This creamer is made with just four ingredients: milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. It is easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. If you are looking for a store-bought coffee creamer, we have recommendations for some of the best options on the market. We will discuss the different flavors and types of creamers available, as well as the pros and cons of each one.

- Place a nut milk bag inside a bowl and then pour the pureed almond mixture into the bag. With super-clean hands, lift the bag and squeeze to get every last bit of milk out.
- Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
