Saturday Share Recipe - Beverage Gift Mixes in Jars
Some people started shopping back in the summer with the first Amazon Prime Day specials.
Some love to hit the stores to shop for holiday presents.
Then there are those who really like to give something from their home and heart—sharing a recipe with a gift in a jar, or in fancy holiday containers that can be purchased just about anywhere.
Gifts like this are delightful because you don’t have to worry if the recipient has one like it already, and the recipient doesn’t end up with something they don’t want or need but feel as if they have to keep it.
Today, I’m offering 2 beverage mixe recipes that are easy to make and delicious. You’ll need glass jars with well-fitting lids, plastic containers, bags, or boxes.
It’s also nice to use holiday fabric, ribbon, and cards and/or envelopes for ingredient lists and instructions which you’ll handwrite or print on cardstock or paper and tuck into a small envelope tied to the gift.
