On this page I will be sharing with you beverage types of "Gifts in a Jar" you can give to family and friends.  
You can even just make them up to have in your own kitchen to say "Welcome Home!!"

Put these mixes in pretty jars and put on a decorative label or tie on a pretty tag with 'brewing' instructions and top the jar with a circle or square of fabric and trim with a tied ribbon or lace.  You can also give chocolate dipped spoons (in a little baggie) attached to the jar or include peppermint or cinnamon flavoured candy sticks/canes for stirring.
