Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee
- 2 tablespoons cherry syrup
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of half-and-half, 1/2 cup of brewed coffee, 2 tablespoons of cherry syrup, 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder, and 1 tablespoon of sugar (if desired).
- In a medium mixing bowl or a large measuring cup, pour in the 1 cup of half-and-half. This will serve as the creamy base for your coffee creamer.
- Add the 2 tablespoons of cherry syrup to the half-and-half. This will infuse your creamer with a sweet cherry flavor.
- Next, sprinkle in the 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder. This will give your creamer a rich mocha taste. Make sure to sift the cocoa powder if it's lumpy to ensure a smooth mixture.
- If you prefer a sweeter creamer, add the optional 1 tablespoon of sugar at this stage. Stir well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
- Once everything is well mixed, slowly pour in the 1/2 cup of brewed coffee. Stir gently to incorporate the coffee into the mixture.
- Taste the creamer and adjust the sweetness or cherry flavor by adding more sugar or cherry syrup if desired.
- Transfer the cherry mocha coffee creamer into a clean jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid for storage.
- Refrigerate the creamer for up to one week. Shake well before each use, as ingredients may settle over time.
- Enjoy your homemade cherry mocha coffee creamer in your favorite coffee or as a delightful addition to other beverages!
Tips
- Use freshly brewed coffee at room temperature to prevent curdling when mixing with half-and-half.
- Sift the cocoa powder to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth, silky texture.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute half-and-half with coconut milk or almond milk.
- Experiment with different cherry syrups—try dark cherry or amaretto-flavored varieties for unique flavor profiles.
- Store in a clear glass jar to showcase the beautiful color and make your creamer Instagram-worthy.
- For an extra indulgent touch, add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon.
- Always shake well before use, as natural ingredients tend to separate when refrigerated.
