Mint Coffee Mix & Free Printable Gift Tag
Mint Coffee Mix is so easy to make and it’s a fun and tasty gift. You can make one jar or as many as you’d like. I also keep a jar for myself to have on hand when family and friends come over to visit. The mint adds a delicious holiday taste to the coffee mix.
Mix instant coffee granules, powdered non-dairy creamer, sugar, cocoa, and crushed peppermint candies together in a blender or food processor.
Pulse until well blended.
Place in a pretty jar, add the FREE printable gift tag and your DIY Christmas gift is done.
I use decaf coffee for the jar I’m keeping for myself. That way, the older grandkids can partake and they have declared this delicious!
Helpful Hint: I usually double the recipe and use a larger mason jar. You could even triple the recipe.

This sounds yummy! I’ve been known to add hot coffee to a package of hot chocolate so I’m sure that I’d love this!
I’m dreaming of a cup of this mint coffee right now. Coffee is my favorite favorite drink!
