Ask Miserly Moms: Homemade Cappuccino
by Jonni McCoy
"I was wondering if you would mind passing on your recipe for homemade cappuccino to me. Thanks so much, Dawn "
Having homemade coffees on hand is nice for a quick hot drink, and makes a great gift for others, too. Put some in a Mason jar and tie a decorative ribbon around the neck. Tie on a card with the name of the contents and how to mix it.
Here is the cappuccino recipe that you asked for, as well as some other recipes for instant coffees:
Instant Cappuccino Mix
- 1/2 cup instant coffee
- 1/2 to 3/4 c. sugar
- 1 c. instant nonfat dry milk
- 1 tsp. dried grated orange peel
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
Mix together in the blender. Wait for the dust to settle after turning it off. Store in an airtight container. Use 2 T. per cup of hot water.
