The flavored creamers that you buy in the grocery stores are sooooo bad for you! Did you know they usually don't even contain cream in them at all? Many popular brands contain bad oils and horrible ingredients. Don't even get me started on the sugar free ones! Yucky! Why would I buy a bottle of "creamer" that does not contain any cream! These recipes taste so much better and is much better for you. Take this as a base and experiment until you find your perfect little cloud of happiness that you can pour in your favorite mug. Remember mine? It still makes me happy! As far as the option I listed for milk and sugars, it is all personal taste and allergen based. I have used all of them and like all of them equally. I basically use whatever is already open in my fridge for milk and sweetener depend all on what I feel like adding...totally random.
Which also bring me to Kitchen Technique #6- Grade A Maple Syrup has less maple flavor, more sweet, thinner and lighter. Grade B Maple Syrup has more maple flavor, less sweet, thicker and darker. Choose based on how much maple flavor you want...or in my case, go with what you have in your pantry. More recently my pantry contains the latter- Grade B Maple Syrup is divine! From a health perspective it contains more mineral content too.
Serve this on your holiday table before your large meal and with your huge piece of holiday pie. I hope you and your guests enjoy them as much as I do!

Top with whip cream, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, nutmeg ,cocoa or vanilla sugar if you desire.
4. Repeat.

I am going to share this post with my mom. I like strong coffee or espresso with sugar in the raw and a little half n half- that's it. But my mom on the other hand likes flavored creamer with a little coffee. ha! She'd love this.
