Flavored coffee creamer drives my husband nuts. Even so, I still make this classic vanilla one all the time. It’s better (and cheaper) than store-bought—and I know exactly what’s in it! —Shauna Sever, San Francisco, California

Ingredients

1 vanilla bean
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup half-and-half cream, 2% milk or heavy whipping cream
