Variations

• Dairy-Free: Substitute 1.5 cups full-fat coconut milk and ½ cup oat milk for the half-and-half and heavy cream. Eliminate the heavy cream entirely for a lighter version.

• Flavored Add-ins: Add a pinch of cinnamon or a few drops of vanilla extract to customize the flavor to your liking.

Storage/Reheating

• Storage: Store the creamer in a tall glass jar, such as a mason jar, with a pour-friendly lid for easy use. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

• Reheating: If you prefer your creamer warm, simply add a little to your hot coffee or heat it gently in the microwave before stirring into your drink.

• Avoid Freezing: The high-fat content in the creamer can cause it to separate and become grainy when thawed, so freezing is not recommended. If you don’t anticipate using all of it within the week, consider making a smaller batch.
