“This recipe is my go-to for coffee creamer and the only recipe you need for having the most delicious iced coffee at home! I make a large pitcher of it every week. I fill a cup to the top with ice, brew Green Mountain iced vanilla caramel coffee on the iced setting of my keurig, and add a good splash of this creamer…best iced coffee ever. First to get me to kick my expensive Starbucks habit!”
