A Little Coffee in my Creamer

For all you vanilla coffee lovers out there here's a great recipe for French Vanilla Coffee Creamer that my dear daughter from Texas sent to me.

That first cup in the morning is heavenly isn't it? Just seems to ease you into the day. 

Ingredients:

14oz sweetened condensed milk

14oz milk (whole, lowfat, or skim - doesn't matter)

2 teaspoons vanilla extract OR Vanilla Coffee Syrup for a stronger flavor

a mason jar (quart is perfect)

Instructions:

Pour all of the ingredients into your mason jar.  Screw the lid on tightly, and shake vigorously for a few minutes until well combined.

To Make it creamier, substitute the milk for heavy cream

You can store it in this jar in the fridge and when you really want to feel the love transfer some into a cute little creamer like my yellow cow.

Here is one of the little tea towels I made, A couple more are on the horizon. 

Of course you have to have a great cup of coffee to start out with and I haven't found a better way to brew coffee than my vintage coffee pot, to get one for yourself see the link on my sidebar. It makes the most wonderful pot of coffee, so smooth and rich. 

Still loving my possum belly cabinet. I'm on a mission to get back to basics and this cabinet gives me the incentive to do just that. I try to envision how the homemakers back in the day centered their day around the kitchen, baking and canning. While i don't think I could do that, still I like to incorporate some of the old way of doing things. I think it's just a more wholesome way of living.
