Coffee Mixes For Giving
From Brenda Hyde
I love to make
and receive flavored coffees for the holidays. Combine
any or all of these in a basket with one of those tall
latte cups (I see bargains on these all the time!), a
pretty spoon and some biscotti or cookies. Use GOOD
quality coffee for the best results.
Cafe Swiss Mocha

1/4 cup powdered non-dairy creamer
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup instant coffee
2 tablespoons powdered baking cocoa
Place ingredients in a blender and process
with the "liquefy" setting. Use 1 1/2 tablespoons
mix with an 8 ounce cup of boiling water. Stir
well, and serve with whipped cream!
