This recipe is actually from my sweet Mother-in-Law, who loves to make this tasty coffee mix up and give it away as holiday gifts. Very tasty!
Dress it up as a gift by using a cute container, covering a coffee can, or placing in a jar and making a pretty topper (you can take off the strawberry & use something else).
Give a Gift Cappucinno* Mix
1C Powdered Fat-free Non-dairy Creamer
1C Instant Hot Chocolate Drink Mix
1/2C Sugar
2/3C Instant Coffee
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
Mix all ingredients together & store in an airtight container.
To use: add 3TBS of Give a Gift Cappuccinno Mix per cup of boiling hot water.
Variations:
Use full fat powdered creamer
Use flavored powdered creamer (adjust or leave out nutmeg & cinnamon accordingly)
Leave out spices and add 1-2 tsp of flavoring extract. Mix well-let sit for several hours and mix again (to distribute wet extract through dry ingredients).
*Yes, I know. This is not really cappuccino. Real cappuccino is made with esspresso, a little bit of steamed milk and a lot of steamed milk froth.
