Non Dairy Creamer....what Can I Use?

[betsyboo01]

Trying to find a non diary creamer that doesn't have all the junk in it. I love the liquid coffeemate creamers like hazelnut and french vanilla.

Do you have any ideas how to make one from scratch?

Most non-dairy creamers aren't really non-dairy; they're non-lactose, but they contain casein. The only truly non-dairy one I've found is made by Silk soymilk. I've only had the plain, but it's quite good, and they also make hazelnut and french vanilla.

Unfortunately, I'm now coming to realize that I'm intolerant to soy too, so I'm back to drinking tea for my caffeine. (Can't stand coffee without some approximation of half and half!)

Just use a milk sub and add flavoring? That's what I'd do if I drank coffee, though you'd have to keep it refrigerated and it wouldn't stay good for that long.

I use Vance's Dari Free. It's good used either as a liquid, or dry.

I've found with the Silk, if you're coffee is REALLY hot, it will burn the soymilk and have a funny taste. If the coffee is a drinkable temp., then it's time to add the cream. I discovered this because it would always taste funny at Starbucks (I'd bring my own cream, they only have the Soymilk). But when I made it at home and my coffee had sat a while, it didn't taste so funny.

It's not my favorite, and I no longer drink coffee daily because of it, but it's adequate when you really want a cup!
