As October’s day pass by, the weather gets cooler and the air is getting crisp… so the time for warm drinks is here! We have a delicious vanilla coffee creamer for you to try at home. It is rich and creamy, with a hint of maple flavor. We used vanilla bean powder which we had on hand, but it is completely optional.

The recipe asks for heavy cream, knowing what type of cream to use for recipes can be confusing. Look in the label for the fat content, heavy cream has a 35% fat content, which makes it more stable, so it is the one to use when using heat or trying to whip air into it. You can adjust the ratio of the cream and milk in this recipe to your liking, we prefer a milky creamer. You can also adjust the amount of maple syrup, or substitute it with another sweetener.

When having people over, its best to have some items handy… like coffee mugs! And not promotional mugs that we all end up having at home. At Almacenes Siman we found the perfect mug set, that comes with a stand so you can display them on your kitchen counter and have them at reach. We also found a great set of sugar and creamer to serve our Vanilla Coffee Creamer, as well as a set of placemats. We got brown, but they have a wide variety to choose from! The best thing of this recipe is that you can just mix all the ingredients together, and keep your creamer in the refrigerator for 1 week.

We hope you enjoy your morning coffee with a hint of vanilla and maple!
