Make Liquid Non-Dairy Creamer from Powdered

I make my own liquid non-dairy coffee creamer from powdered creamer. I buy the 16 oz. size store brand of powdered creamer for $1.00. I add one cup of hot water to one cup of dry creamer and shake. Then I add one cup of cold water and shake it up again.

I store it in a plastic bottle in the fridge. It makes 24 oz of creamer each time, and I think I get about 3 bottles per 16 oz. canister. I have also done this with flavored powdered creamers as well, always with excellent results. This way I don't have to worry about checking expiration dates, and I can control the richness of the creamer by adding more or less water. It has really saved us money, as we drink lots of coffee!

Source: I took the recipe from Dollar General's brand of non-dairy creamer, and it seems to work the same way for all other brands I have tried.

you could decorate the plastic bottle you store it in with decals or stickers even ribbon to go with your dishware so it could go from frige to table in style!

Watch out for the fat content. I was looking at powdered creamers the other day and quite surprised to see all the trans fats still in there.

I just love the internet! I did a search for non-dairy creamer hoping to find how to get "liquid" non-dairy creamer and that's how I found this site and your answer to my question. Thank you Cynthia!

How much flavoring do you add for the larger amount?

On the container it says 2 per 1.
2 cups of hot water to one cup of dry creamer. I ran out of milk for my cereal this morning and decided to try this.

It was a little sweet. So next time I think I will try 2 1/2 to 1.

Can you shop Amazon? They sell a great product, Milkman low fat milk. I use it dry in baking bread, cakes, pancakes, etc.. I also make it liquid. It tastes fine and always does a great job.

Be careful of which seller you buy from on Amazon, some price gouge for the same product, others are reasonable. I hunt for the most reasonable one. Good luck!

I make mine in a 3 cup mason jar and it lasts for 1-2 weeks as Im really only using 1-3 tablespoons each time, 1-2x a day. (measured into my tea/coffee as Im on a plan and measure all my food lately) But I dont measure when Im actually making the creamer, LoL. I rarely measure anything when Im cooking unless its the first time Im making something.

I just keep adding the powdered creamer and boiled water til I get the thick consistency I like. Side Note: I add sugar free vanilla syrup and powdered collagen to it also for the flavor/sweetness and added boost of collagen instead of buying a separate and expensive collagen creamer (most are like $20+)

I've been making this fur awhile now and wondering if your adding water to a powder why do you need to refrigerate. I have been but just wondering if anyone else does not.
