I made this up today to make sure it was gonna be a good mix for next Christmas' Gift Baskets for the coffee lovers on my list. Tried a sample cup with my DSIL Dave...needless to say he left here with a jar of mix to take home he loved it as much as I did. We both drink our coffee with cream, so added some French Vanilla Creamer to it...yummmmmmmy!!! Thank you dear for a wonderful mix that WILL be included in the Coffee Lovers Gift Baskets, and gonna always keep a jar made up for myself.

I love any kind of flavored coffee, and this is no exception. I really like that this is instant, too (super-convenient when I don't feel like brewing a pot of coffee for just me). I didn't find this too sweet at all, either. I was a little worried, between seeing the ratio of sugar to coffee, and reading the review that said that this was way too sweet, but I thought the sweetness was perfect. I just needed to add some milk to my cup because I don't like black coffee. To make the mix more homogenous, I whirred it in my Magic Bullet. Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT5 France
