Homemade Coffee Creamer

A slow reduction concentrates the milk and brown sugar in this three-ingredient vanilla creamer.

Ingredients

• 4 cups whole milk, divided

• ½ cup dark brown sugar

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste

Directions

1. Stir 2 cups milk and the sugar over low heat in a heavy saucepan until dissolved.

2. Simmer gently, without stirring, for 30–35 minutes, reducing to about 1½ cups. Skim off surface foam or film.

3. Remove from heat. When warm rather than hot, mix in the remaining milk and vanilla.

4. Transfer to a clean, covered container and refrigerate promptly.
