I’m enjoying making new creamers now that I got the ratio of milk/ half & half/ or heavy whipping cream to condensed milk.
This creamer needs to be warmed up so that the cocoa is dissolved. I had to strain the nondissolved cocoa, so there weren’t any lumps left.
As you can see from my pictures, some of the cocoa did not dissolve.

I like peppermint mocha lattes from Starbucks. However, they use WAY too much mocha in the lattes. This creamer allows me to have a peppermint mocha latte without the extra cost. Plus, I can customize it to my liking.
