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.

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.
