Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups half & half
  • 0.5 cups heavy cream
  • 0.75 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 0.125 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the half and half, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and molasses.
  2. Add in the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and ground cloves. Whisk until everything is well combined.
  3. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring regularly, until it starts to steam and the sugar dissolves completely.
  4. Once the creamer is smooth, take it off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Let the creamer cool for about 10 minutes at room temperature.
  6. Pour the cooled creamer into a mason jar or container with a lid.
  7. Store it in the fridge for up to 7 days, shaking well before use.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, substitute half and half and heavy cream with coconut milk or almond milk. Adjust sugar to taste for sweetness control.
