Condensing your Ingredients

I ran into some trouble this morning upon finding my coffee black. Which usually would just enjoy with no additives, however, I have developed a little sweet tooth... This morning upon careful discernment from various online sources, I came across some attractive recipes featuring some of my favorite flavors. Unfortunately enough, I discovered that I did not have sweetened condensed milk. It is quite a shame to realize that you haven't the right ingredients for such an appealing recipe. But I have nevertheless been one to despair with lack of proper ingredients. Their is always an alternative... Unless you're replacing yeast-- not something I would recommend trying to find a substitution for. Anyway, cut to the chase already,
These creamer flavors are Mocha, Cinnamon, Spiced Coconut and Maple-Almond. Quite attractive flavors to my palate at least...

Assemble 4 8 oz. jars

Heat 1 cup of evaporated milk in a small saucepan add 1 1/4 cup sugar. Heat this until sugar is dissolved and milk has turned a muted golden color-brownish.
Fill jars halfway full of this mixture leaving the other half for milk, I used Vitamin D, however creativity is the spark of life!

Add your flavorings:

Maple-Almond
1 Tbsp. real maple syrup
1 tsp. Almond extract

Mocha
2 Tbsp. Cocoa

Vanilla Spice
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 tsp. Nutmeg

Coconut Spice
1tsp. Coconut extract
1 tsp. Nutmeg

I hope you enjoy your Joe with these tasty additions. Remember creativity is the spice of life!
