Homemade coconut creamer makes iced coffee even tastier

What’s great about coffee is that you can enjoy it cold or hot, depending on the weather and depending on what you’re craving.

With the summer heat, I prefer it cold with a lot of ice. And what you mix in with it is the fun part. It can be liquor, ice cream or cream.

Speaking of cream, I use a different kind. It has an exotic feel to it because I use muscovado sugar and coconut milk that are boiled slowly together until thickened into a lightly thick cream. Use as much as you want, and pour it into your iced coffee. I think this homemade coconut creamer will make you even more addicted to your caffeine drink. Ready to try it?

Muscovado sugar is a partially refined, dark cane sugar with a strong molasses flavor. If you can’t find it, substitute with dark brown sugar.
