What You’ll Need
For the Creamer:
- 1 ½ cups whole milk (or dairy-free milk of choice)
- 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for vegan)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon dried rose petals (plus extra for garnish)
- Optional: A tiny drop of rosewater for extra floral flavor
Pro Tips
- Don’t boil the milk: Keep the heat low and slow to avoid curdling the milk or cream.
- Adjust sweetness: Add more or less honey or maple syrup to suit your taste.
- Strain for smoothness: Strain the creamer to remove the rose petals if you want a silky texture.
- Go easy on the rosewater: It’s super potent, so a tiny drop is all you need.
Tools Needed
- Small saucepan
- Whisk
- Fine mesh strainer (optional)
- Measuring spoons
Substitutions & Variations
- Milk: Use oat milk, almond milk, or soy milk for a dairy-free version.
- Cream: Swap with coconut cream for a rich, non-dairy option.
- Sweetener: Try agave, brown sugar, or even a splash of vanilla syrup.
- Extra spice: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth.
Make Ahead Tips
You can make this creamer up to 5 days ahead and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. Just give it a shake before using!
