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. They’re delicious and so easy to make!

These coffee creamers are so delicious and perfect for those chilly mornings or evenings when you want a little something besides just black coffee.
