Maple Cardamom Iced Coffees

Sometimes I really wonder how I have managed to go through my entire life, not realizing the simplest things. Case in point; Homemade coffee creamer…

Seriously, what have I been doing with my life buying store bought coffee creamer, when homemade is not only a million times more delicious, but also simple as heck to make at home.

All you need is a pot, fresh cream, your favourite sweetener of choice – brown sugar, honey, agave, maple syrup – any of your fav’s will work; And then all you have to do is customize it your favourite flavour add ins. The combinations are endless, but some of my fav’s are cinnamon, vanilla extract, lavender, rose, turmeric, cocoa, cardamom, and hazelnut extract.

The great thing about this recipe, is that you can easily half or double this recipe, and swap out flavours to suite your cravings.

So here is it lovelies! I hope you enjoy
