Homemade Flavored Coffee Creamers

Our love affair with coffee, especially flavored coffees, has become a pleasurable experience not just a beverage. The prices for these can really put a strain on the pocketbook, especially in these economic times.

Here are some thrifty knockoffs that you can make and store in canning jarsor any other inexpensive airtight containers you have on hand. The best thing about making your own flavors is that you can play with the ingredients to your liking. You can also control the sugar content. With these recipes you can substitute Splenda instead the the sugar. Splenda measures the same as sugar which makes it easy to convert.

Another yummo idea to do with these flavored creamers is to add to ice cream and milk, then blend for a tasty shake!
