 Make Your Own Christmas Gifts | |
| Tea and Coffee Lover's Basket | |
 | from Linda Larsen This is one of the easiest baskets to assemble, since all you really have to do is purchase specialty coffees and teas and tuck them into a basket or bowl along with a mug or two, some spoons, and a napkin. But to save some money and add more of yourself, make some flavored coffee or tea mixes and package them in pretty containers. You could also include a Tea Ball, a wooden honey server, some Decorative Coffee Mugs, and even a fun teapot. Or make Chocolate Coated Spoons and tuck them into the package. |

| Russian Tea Mix | |
| I remember this classic brew very well, as my best friend in college always had a mug nearby as she studied. The spicy lemon flavor of this delicious mix is very delicious and comforting; perfect for a cold afternoon. | |

| Cappuccino Mix | |
| Rich chocolate and spices make this coffee mix extra special. The smooth flavors and wonderful aroma of this recipe makes a wonderful gift. Be sure to include some instructions telling the lucky gift recipient how to make this chocolatey cappuccino. | |
| Amaretto Coffee Creamer | |
| This simple recipe makes a fabulous coffee creamer. Believe it or not, the liquid almond extract will distribute evenly through the creamer as long as you shake the mixture very well. Present it in a little glass pot with a snowflake stenciled on the side. | |
| Toffee Coffee Mix | |
| Butterscotch flavored pudding mix is the secret ingredient in this fabulous recipe. Since the coffee creamer is 'built in' to the recipe, all you need is a mug, some hot water, and a spoon. Yum. | |
| Cafe Bavarian Mint Mix | |
| You will need a blender or food processor to make this delicious coffee mix. Make sure to keep processing until the candy is ground into a fine powder. If you like a darker chocolate flavor in your coffee, add another tablespoon of cocoa. | |
| Chai Tea Mix | |
| The vanilla, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom in this wonderful tea mix will make you feel better no matter what! If you can't find vanilla powder, that's okay; just use a good quality vanilla and shake the mix thoroughly. | |
| Hot Chocolate Mix | |
| Just for a bit of variety, this delicious hot chocolate mix would be a welcome addition to your coffee lover's basket. Or, for a more exotic offering, White Hot Chocolate Mix is just spectacular. | |
| Mexican Tea Cakes | |
| As a bonus, tuck a few of these crumbly, melting little cookies in and around the packages of coffee and tea mixes. These simple little cookies are the perfect accompaniment to any cup of tea. | |
