Flavor Your Coffee

Following the coffee post, it occurred to me that making your own flavored coffee is another way to save some money. So I've compiled some recipes for mixes to premix, shake well, and store.

Mocha Mix


  • 1 1/3 cups sugar

  • 1 cup non-dairy creamer

  • 2/3 cup instant coffee

  • ¼ cup nonfat dry milk

  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa



Cinnamon Spice Mix

  • 1 1/3 cups sugar

  • 2/3 cup instant coffee

  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg

  • ½ teaspoon allspice



Vanilla Mix

  • 3/4 cup sugar

  • 3/4 cup non-dairy coffee creamer

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract



Amaretto Mix

  • 3/4 cup sugar

  • 3/4 cup non-dairy coffee creamer

  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon



Add a teaspoon or so to taste in your coffee for an inexpensive alternative to store bought brands. Enjoy!
