I live in AZ, as much as I love coffee sometimes it's just to hot out for a normal cup of Joe. I found this recipe and I love it. I'm lactose intolerant so using powdered non-dairy creamer is a must for me. I've used chocolate extract (my favorite) also added some peppermint oil around the holidays. Used almond extract and of course vanilla. I'm so happy I stumbled upon this recipe. Thank you so very much! ??????

This is great. I like milk in my iced coffee, but I drink a lot of coffee and wind up going through a lot of milk. With this I get to have my coffee and keep the milk for the cereal. Thanks!

I've had this recipe in my Cookbook for probably close to a year - I just never made it! So I finally went out, bought some powdered creamer, and made it... it's great! Thanks so much for posting!

Great recipe! I hate powdered coffee creamer and this was a nice alternative. It's one of those recipes you play around with. Next I'll try an almond/vanilla extract combo with some stevia. I like the other reviewer's suggestion of using coffee instead of water to avoid diluting my morning caffeine. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
