Homemade gifts, part III

For my dad, hot drink mixes.

hot drink mixes

There are recipes for this type of thing all over the place. I mashed a few together and tweaked them a bit to get what appears below. I was taste-testing these as I mixed them up and ended up drinking about five mugs of coffee in a couple of hours. I don't drink coffee (or soda or tea) very often, so all that caffeine had me feeling a little twitchy for the rest of the day!

Swiss Mocha
1 cup instant coffee
1 cup sugar
2 cups nonfat dry milk
3 tablespoons cocoa

Add all ingredients to food processor and process until uniform.

To use, add 1 to 2 tablespoons to one mug of hot water. Stir well.


Cafe Vienna
1 cup instant coffee
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup nonfat dry milk
1 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Add all ingredients to food processor and process until uniform.

To use, add 1 to 2 tablespoons to one mug of hot water. Stir well.
