Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 32 oz. Half and Half
  • 2 cups sugar brown, white, or I like both
  • 3-4 Tbsp vanilla extract

Equipment

  • 1 sauce pan
  • whisk
  • measuring cup

Method
 

  1. Add the half and half, sugar(s), and vanilla to a sauce pan. Turn the heat over medium hight heat.
    (Note: some people stir in the vanilla after it's cooked- but I am all about shortcuts- so do what you like).
  2. Whisk until combined and the sugar is dissolved. Continue to whisk occasionally as the liquid heats up.
  3. Cook the liquid just until it is steaming and has small bubbles around the edge. Basically JUST BEFORE BOILING! And then shut it off, remove from heat and let cool.
  4. Let the creamer cool to room temperature and then I like to use a small funnel to pour into an air tight jar or into the empty half and half container.

Notes

If for some reason you have a thick layer/specks of ingredients (maybe from over cooking) just use a small strainer to skim the top layer first if you want to before adding to jars.
