Where's the Creamer for my coffee in South America?
The answer to that question is that there are no creamers for coffee located in any grocery stores. Everyday Americans get the best of the best coffee beans imported straight from lands of South America. While the South Americans truly do have the best coffee there is, here in Brazil I noticed they are missing just one thing with their coffee, The Creamer. |
I absolutely love my yummy tasty creamers in my coffee and it has been really hard for me to accept the fact that Brazilians do not have creamers like international delight, white chocolate mocha that I can just buy at the grocery store.
When I am desperate I will drink coffee without creamer, however I am the type of person who has to drink coffee every morning as soon as I wake up. I need my coffee with creamer or I will not function very well without it or be the nicest person, just ask Marcos. LOL.
My dad suggested a solution for Marcos and I to fix our creamer problem, to just make our own creamer right at home. So we found some ingredients to do just that and we found the solution to our creamer problem!
How to make our Creamer:
First we pour the two condensed milk cartons, two cups of skim milk, and a splash of vanilla flavoring in a bottle blender. Then you shake it up real good until it's all mixed together real nice, then put it in bottle containers and put it in the fridge to get nice and chilled. That is all we had to do to make our yummy delicious tasty creamer. I hate that we waited forever to try this, but I am so glad we finally found a solution to our creamer problem. It makes me much happier and ready for the day more than ever now that I have my coffee with creamer! |
The Starbucks Treat
It's not like we can just pop by a Starbucks and order a delicious mocha frappuccino anytime we want. In Brazil it is very hard to even find a Starbucks. Starbucks is only located in larger cities. Starbucks in South America is probably the only place that you'll find the variety selections of flavored coffees. So anytime we were in places like Brasilia or São Paulo we had to find a Starbucks to get our Starbucks fix. Anytime we got coffee from Starbucks, we always got the largest size they had, the Vente, for whatever flavored coffee we ordered. Thank God Marcos is just as obsessed with coffee and creamers as I am. He feels my pain and understands why I miss and desire my coffee with my creamer so badly, so it really is a treat for both us when we get to enjoy some Starbucks for a tasty treat, but it is also awesome that we found a way to make our very own delicious creamer right at home. |
