Instructions

Combine Base Ingredients: Whisk together the half & half, heavy cream, and granulated sugar in a medium saucepan until well mixed.
Add Flavor Additions and Heat: Add all flavor components except for the extracts to the saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat until it begins to steam, the sugar dissolves fully, and the creamer appears smooth and well combined.
Incorporate Extracts: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in all the extracts thoroughly to distribute the flavors evenly.
Cool and Store: Allow the creamer to cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a mason jar or a container with a lid. Store the creamer in the refrigerator for up to 7 days and shake well before each use.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, substitute half & half and heavy cream with coconut milk or almond milk creamers.
For a sugar-free version, replace granulated sugar with a sugar substitute such as erythritol or stevia according to package instructions.
Shake the creamer well before each use, as natural separation may occur during storage.
The creamer will keep fresh in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
Adjust the amount of extracts and spices to suit personal taste preferences.
