- 1 teaspoon Pure peppermint extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 pieces Food-safe peppermint candy (optional, for garnish)

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the peppermint extract and vanilla extract.
Let the creamer cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a clean, airtight container.
For an optional festive touch, crush the peppermint candies and sprinkle a pinch on top of your coffee after adding the creamer.
Store the Peppermint Coffee Cream in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Shake well before each use.
