Today I ran out of coffee creamer and needed some. So I thought I'd try making it as per her instructions. This would do in a pinch if you keep sweetened condensed milk on hand. Since it's so sugar-heavy I might try making my own from evaporated milk and xylitol. You definitely get a sugar rush with this stuff!
I stored mine in my Good Seasons salad dressing bottle. Just the right size for this!
Homemade Vanilla Coffee Creamer
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp. vanilla
Milk to thin (or cream if you prefer) (about 1/4 - 1/2 cup or so)
Blend the sweetened condensed milk and the vanilla. Add milk or cream, stirring as you go, until it reaches the desired thinness. Refrigerate in a covered, pourable container. Enjoy!

And if you wanted to get really wild and crazy, you could make your own sweetened condensed milk. :>) I'm super interested in xylitol, haven't done much with it yet, but I appreciate it that Goosie's vitamins are sweetened with it.
Oh my. Makes my mouth water since I'm one of those folks who love to get the scrappings out of the Eagle Brand cans. Major yumness.
I noticed on the Downton Abbey episode we watched last night (Season 2: Episode 1) that Thomas offered condensed milk and sugar to Matthew while they were in the trenches at war. A rare treat in that situation, it seemed. Interesting.
Lenetta, good idea! Guess a Google search for a recipe is next. ;)
Gotcha covered. :) http://www.kitchenstewardship.com/recipes/healthy-homemade-sweetened-condensed-milk-without-powdered-dry-milk/
