Notes

If you are making this mix to gift, check out this post for printables for optimal gifting!
Don't be alarmed if you watch this cook in the microwave and you see it shoot up (kind of like a souffle) out of the mug/jar, this is normal and it will simmer down.

Spice it Up!

Before microwaving try mixing in some orange peel shavings for a nice floral flavor.
Top with whipped cream and fresh fruit for an extra luxurious yet simple experience.
Try adding a drop of mint extract for a holiday twist!
