DIY// Pumpkin Spice Creamer
Ah living in Germany certainly poses some bumps in the road. Especially when Fall rolls around & it's #pumpkineverything but the grocery store doesn't have Pumpkin Spice creamer. WHAT?!
How is a basic white girl supposed to drink coffee at home without delicious pumpkin spice creamer?!
Solution: make your own!
I looked around at a ton of blogs & recipe websites, all with slight variations of one another. I picked out the ingredients that seemed to be most common & ran with what I was thinking & what I had on hand.
Ingredients:
1/2 can Sweetened Condensed Milk
2 cups Milk of choice [I used Whole]
1/4 cup Pumpkin Puree
1 Tbsp Maple Syrup
1 Tbsp Vanilla
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
Directions:
Wisk together ingredients [omitting vanilla] in a medium sauce pan. Heat on stove on medium heat, stirring often. Heat until the mixture is steaming, but not boiling. Remove from heat & stir in vanilla. Let cool & store in a container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
I used an old Starbucks store-bought frap glass bottle [the bigger one] with a handmade label. The mixture filled the bottle to the top after I used a bit for my coffee this morning!
Boy oh boy is it delicious! I may or may not be on my second cup of the day! It's creamy & doesn't chunk up my coffee like others I have tried. Plus, it's pretty cheap to make! I had most of the ingredients on hand already & those that I had to buy will only use part of it for a batch. Frugality is awesome!
Hope this inspires you to try your own pumpkin spice creamer!
If you do, let me know how it turns out!
Yum! Way to take charge and get it done =)
