What is MYO???

SO what is MYO??? It's Make Your Own!!! Why would you want to MYO??? Well because when you do....you save money!!! If you typically buy a prepared item....try looking around the net for a MYO recipe.....not only food items but you can also find many great recipes for household cleaners too. If you can prepare it yourself it will almost always be less expensive that way....you are saving the costs of someones labor and the extra packaging and advertising costs. The books in the Tightwad Gazette series have many great recipes in them. Get them FREE at the library. NEVER pay any of your hard earned money for a book until you have seen it first.... if you like it and will use it, then allow it to become a member of your family!!! Anyway here's 2 recipes I use and like very much....you can change the spices around to things you may like better.....I've made the tea one with apple pie spice mix before and it was pretty good also!
Cappuccino Mix
1 cup instant coffee creamer

1 cup instant chocolate drink mix

2/3 cup instant coffee crystals, regular or decaffeinated

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Combine creamer, drink mix, coffee crystals, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg, and mix well. Store in airtight container. Makes 3 cups dry mix, 15 servings. To prepare: Add 3 Tablespoons mix to 6 ounces of hot water and stir well.


Chai Tea Mix
2 cups instant coffee creamer (I like vanilla flavored 4 this one)

2/3 cup instant tea crystals, regular or decaffeinated

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Combine creamer, tea crystals, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg, and mix well. Store in airtight container. Makes about 3 cups dry mix, 15 servings. To prepare: Add 3 Tablespoons mix to 6 ounces of hot water and stir well.

You can adjust the amounts of any items to fit your needs and use splenda also if you want it sugar free!!!

Enjoy!!!
