Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract optional for extra flavor

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Glass jar or bottle for storage

Method
 

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and granulated sugar.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently until the sugar dissolves, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract if using.
  4. Let the mixture cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes to prevent jar breakage.
  5. Carefully pour the cooled creamer into a glass jar or bottle using a funnel if needed.
  6. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate the creamer for at least 2 hours until it thickens slightly.
  7. Shake the jar well before each use to mix any settled ingredients.
  8. Add homemade French vanilla creamer to hot coffee and enjoy the rich, creamy flavor.

Notes

For a richer flavor, let the creamer sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours before using.
