Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine half-and-half, whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, and cold brew coffee concentrate.
Add the split and scraped vanilla bean seeds and pod to the milk mixture.
Whisk in the salted caramel sauce and fine sea salt until well combined and smooth.
Let the mixture sit in the refrigerator for 1 hour to allow the vanilla bean flavor to infuse and the creamer to chill.
Remove the vanilla bean pod by straining the creamer through a fine mesh sieve into a clean jar or bottle.
Shake the creamer before each use and add to your coffee as desired.

Tips

Use a fresh whole vanilla bean for a rich vanilla depth that complements the caramel and coffee.
Adjust the sea salt amount to achieve your preferred balance of sweet and salty in the creamer.
