What You’ll Need
Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond milk (unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Pro Tips
- Use quality honey: The flavor of your honey really shines through here. If you can, use raw honey or a local variety for the best taste.
- Don’t skip the salt: It might sound strange, but that tiny pinch of salt balances the sweetness and brings out all the flavors.
- Taste as you go: Want it sweeter? Add an extra drizzle of honey! Need more almond flavor? Add a few extra drops of almond extract. Customize it to your taste!
- Heat gently: When warming the mixture, don’t let it boil. You just want to heat it enough to combine everything nicely.
- Double the batch: This keeps in the fridge for up to a week, so make extra if you’re a daily coffee drinker like me!
Tools You’ll Need
- Small saucepan
- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Airtight container or jar for storing
Substitutions and Variations
- Dairy-free option: Use coconut cream instead of heavy cream for a dairy-free version.
- Sweeter option: Swap out honey for maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Nut-free version: Replace almond milk with oat milk and skip the almond extract. It’ll still be creamy and delicious!
- Spiced creamer: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the mix for a cozy, spiced flavor.
Make-Ahead Tips
This creamer stores beautifully! Make it on Sunday, and you’ll have it ready to go for your weekday coffee routine. Just give it a good shake before using since it can separate a little in the fridge.
