this is what davis and i are giving to friends, neighbors, and co-workers {davis’s} this year. i opted for an easy “gift in a jar” Christmas gift this year. it’s Hot Cinnamon Milk mix which tastes like Eggnog, but without the eggs!! one taste and you’ll be hooked!
i got this recipe from my good friend Amanda who just started a blog, Spatula’s and Spoons. you really should check out her blog. she cooks the most gourmet meals! she’s so talented! {i’m trying to learn a thing or two about cooking from her!}
Hot Cinnamon Milk mix (to fill a quart jar)
2 cups powdered milk
1 cup powdered French Vanilla creamer
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 Tablespoon cinnamon
Simply mix together and fill your jar! To enjoy this yummy treat, mix 1/3 cup with hot water. OR for a creamier version, mix 1/3 cup mix with 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup milk. YUM!
Hot Cinnamon Milk mix (to fill a pint jar as shown above)
1 cup powdered milk
1/2 cup powdered French Vanilla Creamer
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon

That is so cute, and sounds so yummy! Is that a quart jar?
This is such a wonderful idea! Thank you so much for sharing it.
I love the idea and I adore anything cinnamon flavoured. One question though… what is french vanilla creamer? Is it french, or is the vanilla french? In holland my brother serves coffee with a powdered milk instead of fresh. Is it like that?

Sounds delish. I just added it to my recipe database.
Perfect. Just what I was looking for. I'm definitely giving this gift out!

Recipe sounds yummy – but I have a question about the amount of cinnamon. Isn't 1/2 tablespoon the same as 1 1/2 teaspoons, so both recipes have the same amount? Just want to verify before I try it!
Thanks!
I can't wait to try it! But 1/2 tablespoons does equal 1 1/2 teaspoons. Which recipe is correct?
Christy is completely right. I wasn't thinking! 1/2 Tablespoon is equal to 1.5 Teaspoons. The recipe for the Pint Jar amount should be 3/4 teaspoon. {which I have now fixed) Thanks for bringing that to my attention ladies!!

This is wonderful… thank you so much for the recipe! I also would like to know what french vanilla creamer is… I hope there is a substitute here in Australia
I think "French Vanilla" is predominately a marketing ploy, which Wikipedia Confirms: The term French vanilla is not a type of vanilla, but is often used to designate preparations that have a strong vanilla aroma, and contain vanilla grains. The name originates from the French style of making ice cream custard base with vanilla pods, cream, and egg yolks. Inclusion of vanilla varietals from any of the former or current French dependencies noted for their exports may in fact be a part of the flavoring, though it may often be coincidental. Alternatively, French vanilla is taken to refer to a vanilla-custard flavor.[16] Syrup labeled as French vanilla may include hazelnut, custard, caramel or butterscotch flavors in addition to vanilla
I think any powdered vanilla flavor would work.
how about some kind of gift tag template to put the "recipe" part on? with some nice font or something??? I am fairly label challenged! Thanks.
OMG!…THIS STUFF IS SO FREAKING YUMMERS!…I JUST MADE SOME…AND IT'S AMAZING!…I HATE CHOCOLATE…YEAH…YOU READ THAT RIGHT…AND NOW I HAVE A WARM DRINK FOR THE WINTER!….THANKS A BUNCH!…
ok so I tried the cinnamon milk and, well, not to my liking. BUT… at the same time I bought the vanilla creamer, they had Coffemate Peppermint Mocha creamer, and THAT is the ticket for me. I just used that instead of vanilla and omitted the cinnamon. MMMMMmmmm good! I will be making this for all my friends. Thanks.
Oh this looks so yummy. I like that it's different from all the other mixes I've found. Thank you for sharing. I love the fabric bow you used to gift it, too.
Thanks for the great recipe! I love jar gifts! I made up a batch to try first, and it is yummy. The creamer I bought is sweetened, so I'm going to cut down on the sugar. Thanks again!!
Thank you so much for this idea! I am going to make this as a christmas gift for my friends and family. And of course I had to try it before I made it for anyone else, and it is DELICIOUS!! Seriously, so good!
Thank you so much for this recipe and gift idea! :)

Thank you so much for this recipe and gift idea! :)
I tried this at my mom's house over the holidays, and it was so yummy. It's a little sweeter than I like, but I can easily cut the sugar a bit. My sister-in-law mixed it in her coffee–yum!
I like @Kati's idea of using different flavored creamers. I may try that next.
Thanks for the recipe!
I made some as a Valentine for my mom and had to try it before giving it to her … so YUMMY! But I won't be having any more at 4 in the afternoon … the warm milk made me so sleepy!
I just made some of this, and I have to say: Oh. My. GOD. It's heavenly! When I was little, my mom used to mix milk, sugar, and cinnamon into steamed rice. We called it rice cereal. This reminds me of that!
Same here!! That’s what I kept telling my family it tasted like! Nice to know I’m not the only one cause my hubby and kids thinks that’s just crazy ;)
Oh Yummy! I can’t wait to try this recipe. Those bows are just adorable. Definitely going to have to try those! Thanks for sharing all these fun projects :)
thanks, Becky! i’m so glad you stopped by Craftaholics Anonymous!
happy crafting,

Just so I am clear, is it 1/3 cup of mix to 1 cup of water (or alternatively 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup water)?
Yes, you are correct Vanessa. thanks for stopping by!
happy crafting,
