Homemade Apple Pie Coffee Creamer

This recipe contains two recipes.

1: A Dairy Based Recipe

2: A Vegan Non-Dairy Recipe

These homemade apple pie coffee creamer recipes are easy, healthy, and delicious. Both are easy to make, keeps for awhile in the fridge, and is a delicious addition to your morning (or Anytime!) coffee. The team and I have been enjoying it for the past month or so, and it makes a normal cup of coffee into an All American Patriotic Treat. The fact is, you will know exactly what is in your creamer. If apple or cinnamon isn’t your thing, you could also try any spice powder in substitute for the Smoked Bros Apple Shrapnel!

Surprise!!! The majority of the store-sold coffee creamers aren't actually blended with real cream. They are actually filled with a silky creamy mouthfeel from thickening agents and emulsifiers like carrageenan. Carrageenan is an extract from a red seaweed commonly known as Irish Moss... YUMMY! Which has been known to cause inflammation and digestive problems.

Some of the other ingredients are considered "safe", are just plain products of lab experiments. Cellulose gel and cellulose gum are food safe fillers that are derived from wood pulp or cotton...YUMMY! Polysorbate 60 is a sugar alcohol-derived emulsifier that's used to keep water and oil from separating in conventional cosmetics. Do you really want to be drinking that stuff on the reg?

Now that we now that the store bought stuff is generally pretty terrible, let's make our own. Again, you can take this technique and make it your own. Tailor the dairy or sugar contents to meet your dietary needs.

DAIRY BASED RECIPE

Ingredients:

• 1 cup milk

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 4 Tbsp maple syrup

1. In a medium sized saucepan, whisk together milk, cream, maple syrup and apple pie spice. *(Remove all clumps no matter how small)

2. Cook, stirring, over medium heat. When mixture begins to bubble around the edges of the pan, remove the pan from the heat and add in the vanilla extract.

3. Strain through a fine mesh strainer, poor into desired container and refrigerate before using.

* Note - You can use an old creamer bottle. Peel off the label, wash the bottle and you're ready to roll.

NON-DAIRY (Vegan) BASED RECIPE:
