Ingredients (Yields ~1½ cups)

• 1 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, etc.)
• ½ cup heavy cream (or canned coconut cream for dairy-free)
• 2–3 tbsp maple syrup, honey, or simple syrup (adjust to taste)
• 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt (optional, enhances flavor)

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine milk, cream, and sweetener over medium heat.
2. Warm gently, stirring until sweetener is dissolved — do not boil.
3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and pinch of salt (if using).
4. Let cool, then pour into a sealed jar or bottle.
5. Store in the fridge for up to 7–10 days. Shake before each use.

Flavor Variations

🌰 Vanilla Almond

• Use almond milk and add ¼ tsp almond extract

🧂 Salted Vanilla Cream

• Add a pinch of flaky sea salt + extra splash of vanilla

🍯 Honey Vanilla Spice

• Use honey to sweeten and add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg

Pro Tips

• Want it thicker? Use more cream or reduce the milk slightly
• Prefer it dairy-free? Use oat milk + canned coconut milk for ultra-creaminess
• For a sugar-free version, use liquid monk fruit or stevia drops to taste
• Scale the recipe up and store in a glass bottle for a full week’s supply
