Homemade Coffee Creamer

I have just recently became a coffee drinker. Or at least a coffee-flavored creamer drinker...ha. I like my coffee with plenty of milk/sugar. I especially like the new Natural Bliss creamer, but it's kind of spend-y. So, when I saw a recipe for homemade coffee creamer on Pinterest, I thought I would give it a try.

The verdict: It's easy and so good. And much more affordable.

Homemade Coffee Creamer

1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
14 oz. milk (it doesn't work to just put milk into the sweetened condensed milk can, by the way) You basically need nearly 2 c. of milk
2 tsp. vanilla

Combine the ingredients (I use a quart-size canning jar) in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Stir. Then, shake, shake, shake. Store in the refrigerator. Mark the top with the milk's expiration date. So far, ours has not lasted nearly that long. That's it. Add to your coffee and enjoy!

Have you seen this one? I started doing this several months ago and love have been trying some of additional flavor ideas here. So far I like the amaretto best, but struggle with the cinnamon settling.
