3 ingredient homemade coffee creamer #coffee

"I did say the best-tasting creamer, not the most healthy." Ethan Rode gets that distinction out of the way as an entire can of sweetened condensed milk goes into the jar.

His "3 ingredient homemade coffee creamer #coffee" drew an estimated quarter-million views in its first day, roughly thirteen times his usual Shorts start. For a creator whose recent drinks include a green onion latte and blueberry lavender syrup, this one is a much more familiar proposition: vanilla creamer for an iced coffee, made at home.

Rode says artificial-tasting store-bought creamers are his sticking point. His alternative starts with the condensed milk, followed by one and a half tablespoons of vanilla bean paste. He fills the rest of the mason jar with milk, then stirs. Other extracts, he notes, can change the flavor. There is no cooking step.

The comments are busy with variations and practical questions. Viewers suggest almond extract or swapping the milk for half-and-half; others ask for a dairy-free version, the jar's size and how long the mixture keeps. The Short gives neither a jar capacity nor a storage time.

That leaves the recipe simple enough to follow at a glance, though not quite a measured batch: the final amount of milk depends on the jar Rode fills.

How long can it last before going bad?

I use half and half instead of milk but absolutely this is the best alternative to store bought creamer. Been making it this way for years

I didn’t even know that creamer was a thing until I met an American at an airport cafe trying to buy a coffee with creamer
