My Dairy-Free Coffee Creamer Recipe Is Easier To Make Than You Think

Alternative milk and coffee creamers are arguably some of the most analyzed items at the supermarket. In my opinion, checking your milks for gums and fillers can trigger more anxiety than it's worth, so I've tried to make my own to avoid the chaos. Fortunately, it's way easier than I thought. 

For a week's worth of creamer

While making this creamer is super easy, you should prep it the evening before you plan to use it. Before you go to bed, put your cup of almonds (or whatever nut you prefer) into a container of warm water. Pop your dates in there as well, put a lid on it, and let it sit overnight. 

Don't be afraid if your "milk" looks watery at this point, as the creamy consistency comes in the next step.
