Thank you so much! It's fun for St Patrick's, but my husband loves year-round. Lol

How long does the creamer keep?
Michelle says
Conservatively, a week. For myself, I usually keep it as long as the expiration date on my milk/half-and-half/cream.
Nikki says
Quick question? Do you use heavy cream or half and half?
Michelle says
I use cream, to basically create half-and-half. Alternately, you can just use 3 cups half-and-half instead of cream and milk.

Can this coffee creamer be frozen??
Michelle says
I don't really recommend freezing milk or cream because it separates when it thaws.
Dave says
I would like to know what type of instant coffee granules?
Michelle says
I just have a little jar of Folgers instant coffee that I use for this and other recipes.
Maggie says
I remember Irish cream to have a minty flavor. I don’t see an ingredient that sod bring
That Irish cream flavor.
Michelle says
Nope, no mint flavor. Irish cream is basically Bailey's liqueur. A creamy, chocolate concoction with Irish whiskey.
Pam says
I love Irish cream, but can’t use the Bailey’s version in my coffee during the week so I’m excited to try this! Quick question, the ingredients say heavy cream but the instructions say half and half, which one is correct?
Thank you!!
Michelle says
The directions should really say cream, but you could substitute half-and-half for the cream if you wanted. It would be a little less rich.
