You know, those Folger’s people have something saying that coffee is the best part of waking up. I love my morning coffee and often enjoy it in the evenings with a little flavored creamer. That said, I have found that those flavored creamers can get a bit expensive, especially if you want something different from time to time. So what can we do about that? We can DIY our own flavored coffee creamers!
I love flavored coffees so I started looking for a few flavors that I can make from home. Honesty, I had the idea to add some of these to a few gift baskets that I’m making for Christmas and when I found out how easy…not to mention cheap…they are to make, I decided that I would just have to have a few for myself. I do love my Starbucks coffees but they’re a bit expensive, too. And, if you haven’t already, be sure to have a look at these 35 copycat Starbucks recipes that you can make at home.
