Gift Mixes for Coffee Lovers
By Brenda Hyde
|
Here are some great mixes to make for the coffee lover in your life, just in time for holiday gift giving!
Quality ingredients are important!
I love to make and receive homemade mixes for the holidays.
The key is to use good quality ingredients that are fresh.
Combine any or all of the following recipes in a basket with a
coffee mug or latte cup, a pretty spoon and some biscotti or
cookies.
Another option for travelers is to include an insulated mug and
all of the mixes, plus a few gift certificates for bagel
or donut shops along their driving route. How ever you give
these mixes, they will be a big hit with coffee lovers.
