    Thank you so much for providing these, Tawara and readers! My niece was recently diagnosed as autistic so we want to limit the chemicals to which she is exposed. This will help us (and be more convenient and cheaper! Isn’t that so often the way?) and delight her!

    I would like to know about the recipe for Minted Coffee Mix.

    Do you mean ¾ of a cup of powdered coffee creamer?

    There is no measurement listed. Thank you so much for answering.

    This year, I made the candied stirring spoons that you suggested on this site a few weeks back. You know, the ones that are dipped in chocolate and then have goodies or marshmallows added to them, and are then individually wrapped. They were easy, elegant, inexpensive and just special enough for Christmas. I bet they would be perfect with a batch of your gourmet coffee mixes for a nice adult Christmas gift, without risking a sugar overload. Thank you for your ideas, recipes and all the feedback from everyone.

    Hadn’t though of using these as a gift! Great idea Mary Jane! Aren’t our fellow readers clever and helpful?!

    Another gift for the person with everything is an experience. Play “That game” with them. Take them to see a movie or watch a favorite show with them. If they like kids, bright them. If not don’t. Either way ask, because they may have a headache that day.

    I have emptied a small bottle (1 or 2 oz) vanilla or almond flavoring into a bag of coffee….delicious

      Did you pour the liquid into a can of coffee? Does it not get clumpy? Thank you.

      Reply

      • 10 Easy Gourmet Coffee Recipes (28)Jill

        I know you were asking Sherry about this but in case she doesn’t get you answered it probably doesn’t get lumpy because coffee doesn’t lump up like flour or something but what you might do instead is just make the coffee and add a couple of drops of the flavoring to that. That way if you ever need to use the plain coffee you will be able too.
