The creamer will keep for up to 7 days in the refrigerator.

Use high quality vanilla extract to create a rich and flavorful vanilla creamer.
Recipe makes a cup of French vanilla creamer. Add 1-2 tablespoons to your coffee. No need to add any sugar or milk since the creamer is both in one.
Madagascar Bourbon vanilla is the extract that's most commonly found in supermarkets and it has a sweet, mellow taste. It's the one used in the recipe but you can use any kind of vanilla extract from Mexican vanilla (sweet taste with a little spice) to Tahitian (fruity and floral taste).
Use it to make hot chocolate by stirring this creamer and cocoa powder in hot milk. Add it to Earl Grey tea instead of sugar and milk.
Vanilla bean, vanilla paste, or vanilla powder can be used in place of vanilla extract but extract is the easiest to use. The recipe uses 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract so instead of the extract, use 1 tablespoon of vanilla paste or powder. To use vanilla bean, use 1 whole vanilla bean.
