Make Your Own Coffee Creamer

I personally only use half & half in my coffee, but this is an interesting recipe that I will probably make for my husband who likes a little more sweetness in his. There are a number of ways to modify this too. 1. You could use just condensed milk (as opposed to sweetened condensed). 2. If you're doing a Paleo diet or perhaps enjoying your @Whole30 then maybe using some coconut cream (condensed coconut milk) along with coconut milk and perhaps some cinnamon (no extracts, at least for those doing the Whole30 as they do have alcohol in them). 3. If you're lactose intolerant, you could do the coconut variety, or perhaps craft your variety using the can of condensed coconut milk along with almond or cashew milk (yum) and then add a non-imitation extract.

I don't recommend the use of the Torani syrup. I'm not mad at them, I just think if you're trying to get away from putting lots of doctored foods in your bod, then why would you choose to add something that's essentially sugar, water, preservative and food coloring?

check out the recipe at http://myfridgefood.com/ViewRecipe.aspx?recipe=21288
but the basic recipe calls for 
1.  14 oz sweetened condensed milk
2.  2 cups milk
3.  your choice of flavoring - I recommend pure extracts, like vanilla or almond and maybe some organic cinnamon sprinkled in there too.
4.  No cooking required.  Just mix it all together in a container and enjoy.
