Ingredients
- 1 cup Skim milk
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry and set aside.
Pour the skim milk into a small saucepan and place it over medium heat.
Add the brown sugar to the milk, stirring continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the milk and brown sugar mixture. Continue to stir for about 3-4 minutes, until the mixture starts to thicken slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the pure vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Allow the creamer to cool slightly before transferring it to a glass bottle or a jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Refrigerate the creamer for at least 1 hour before using. Shake well before each use.
Use 1-2 tablespoons of the creamer in your coffee as desired and enjoy the rich, sweet flavor with low-fat content.
