When I think of my mom I think of laughter, piano music, and absolute, one hundred percent unwavering devotion. My mom would do anything for me and I have lived my entire life knowing that. That is a pretty solid comfort right there, friends. For as far back as my memory goes, that meant my mom nourishing people’s spirits and bellies.

I also think of coffee because my mom and coffee? They’re inseparable. She is legendary in the family for the strength of her arm wrestling skills and legendary amongst all who know her for the strength of her coffee. Rumour has it that she once unintentionally caused a panic attack in the son of a friend who was unfamiliar with the fact that her coffee was strong enough to stand a spoon in upright. Poor teenager drank the coffee and broke out in palpitations and a cold sweat. Luckily for him, my mom is a nurse and a good one, too.

My mom has another little quirk about her coffee aside from her lifetime ban from making coffee at the office because no one else can drink her coffee. She loves it -LOVES IT- in weird little cups and bowls. I hardly ever see my mom drink coffee from a ‘proper’ mug. It’s almost always in what she refers to as “Wabi-sabi” cups or sometimes even sugar bowls.

I also think of scents when I think of my mom. She’s an avid wearer of essential oils, but back in the day when she didn’t have two nickels to rub together, my mom would dab vanilla extract behind her ears and on her pulse points in place of perfume oil. Maybe this accounts for why I love vanilla so very much and why I associate vanilla with comfort. So when I was contacted by McCormick to participate in their “Flavor of Together” program and asked to make a recipe for Mother’s Day using their vanilla, sharing How to Make Homemade Coffee Creamer was a natural choice to honour my mom. While she’s phased out drinking creamer in her coffee, she drank it in every one of her multiple daily cups when I was growing up. It just plain reminds me of her.

While vanilla coffee creamer is nice, I opted to make Snickerdoodle Coffee Creamer because my mom’s mom -my beloved Grandma- is forever indelibly linked to snickerdoodles in my mind. Cinnamon, vanilla, and sugar all together like my grandma, my mom, and I: Not that I’m sweet as sugar, but the connection between the three of us IS. McCormick’s Pure Vanilla Extract has been one of America’s essential baking ingredients for more than a century, and for generations, vanilla extract has been a key ingredient in recipes passed down from moms, grandmas, aunts and more, whether it’s for perfume or for cookies or a blog post on How to Make Homemade Coffee Creamer.

Cook’s Notes:

• You can make this as indulgent or as lean as you’d like by choosing regular, fat-free, or vegan sweetened condensed milk and whole, 2%, 1%, skim, almond, soy, coconut, hemp, or WHICHEVER milk you like best. Just keep in mind that the expiration date will follow the expiration date of whichever milk you choose so label accordingly.
• Only use PURE vanilla extract in this recipe, folks. Imitation vanilla has no place here.
