    Need an alternative to creamer for your daily coffee drink, try coffee with evaporated milk. This shelf stable alternative to milk is a great way to add a touch of creaminess to your coffee.

    Have you ever made a hot pot of coffee only to realize you are out of milk or creamer? Check your pantry for a can of evaporated milk.

    Coffee with evaporated milk is a great alternative for your regular coffee creamer. Coffee with sweetened condensed milk is another great alternative if you like your coffee a little sweeter.

    What is evaporated milk?

    Evaporated milk is made with fresh milk that has been heated so that 60% of the water evaporates. Once the water evaporates, the milk is homogenized, canned, and then sterilized. The great thing about evaporated milk is that it is has a long shelf life and doesn’t need to be refrigerated.

    The main differences between evaporated milk and condensed milk is that condensed milk has a thicker consistency and added sugar.

    Why this drink recipe works

    • Evaporated milk is a good substitute to milk or heavy cream. Since it’s shelf stable, it lasts for a long time.
    • A wonderful, budget friendly coffee creamer substitute.

    Ingredients needed

    Evaporated milk – You can usually find evaporated milk packaged in a can in the baking aisle.

    Coffee – Brew your favorite black coffee or instant coffee. This also works with tea.

    Optional – Sweetener like sugar, or sugar alternative.

    This recipe can be prepared to suit your taste. I recommend adding as much evaporated milk as you would usually with creamer or milk.

    Step one: Pour hot, brewed coffee into a mug.

    Recipe tips

    • Evaporated milk can also be used to make hot chocolate.
    • This recipe calls for 3 tablespoons of evaporated milk but you can easily adjust the amount to suit your taste.
    • Want to a little extra sweetness? Try adding a flavored syrup or maple syrup to the coffee.
    • Store any leftover evaporated milk in an airtight container or jar with a lid in the refrigerator.

    Iced coffee with evaporated milk

    You can also easily make this with iced coffee.

    Step one: Make coffee, let it completely cool and then store in the refrigerator to chill.

    Step two: Fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour cold coffee into glass leaving a little room for the evaporated milk. Pour in desired amount of evaporated milk and sweetener then stir to combine.
