Homemade Cappuccino Mix

As the weather starts to cool off, I love to have something warm to sip on in the mornings. This Homemade Cappuccino Mix Recipe is delicious and easy to make. The mild coffee flavor makes it perfect for coffee drinkers and non-coffee drinkers alike. Just add a few scoops of mix to a cup and warm it up for the perfect start to your day!

We’ve made this homemade cappuccino powder mix two different ways, first, as an instant mix recipe using instant coffee. For that recipe, you can stir some of the mix right into a warm mug of water. You can also use regular ground coffee instead of instant coffee, which makes a perfect filler for those reusable K-Cups!

I didn’t even know what those were until I bought a good coffee maker for my hubby for his birthday (he’s the real coffee drinker on our little farm!), and those K-Cups are expensive! So we bought the reusable cups from Amazon, and when he wants some brewed cappuccino, he fills it with the mix you will find below.

Ingredients in Homemade Cappuccino Mix

  • 1/2 cup Instant Coffee
  • 1 cup Sugar (can be regular, raw, coconut, etc)
  • 1 1/4 cups Powdered Milk (or Powdered Coconut Milk for dairy-free)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground Nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground Cinnamon

I just made a batch of this for myself and I made it with powdered coconut milk and it’s just wonderful!!! I love being able to control my ingredients. Organic fair trade freeze dried coffee, organic sugar and coconut milk powder and you can’t even taste the spices but you know they are there enhancing the flavor. Thank you so much for this I can’t wait to make some for some of my dairy free friends!!!

To mix up your homemade Cappuccino Mix, add a few spoonfuls to a mug full of warm water. Stir until the mixture is dissolved. If using the non-instant ground coffee, add about 4 teaspoons into a reusable K-cup and brew as usual.

Hi Merissa, I love Cappuccino, this is a great recipe! I am addicted to the taste of Ginger, so I added 1/2 tsp. to your recipe along with the Nutmeg and Cinnamon. Oh it’s soooooo good! Thank you!

  • Add a powdered vanilla or vanilla sugar to make this vanilla flavored.
  • Use instant espresso to give this an additional caffeine boost.
  • Add in a little hot chocolate mix to make this a Mocha Cappuccino.
