Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup half and half
- 1 Tbsp molasses
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the half and half, molasses, vanilla extract, ground ginger, ground cloves, and cinnamon into a small saucepot.
- Heat Mixture: Place the saucepot over medium heat and stir often to combine. Heat the mixture until the half and half is hot and steaming but not simmering, which typically takes about five minutes. This ensures the flavors meld together without curdling the cream.
- Serve or Store: Once heated, you can serve the creamer immediately by adding it to your coffee, or refrigerate it in a sealed container until ready to use. Warm gently before serving if chilled.
Notes
- Do not allow the creamer to boil to prevent separation or curdling.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Adjust the amount of molasses and spices based on your taste preference.
- Shake or stir well before each use if refrigerated.
