I am looking for some sirup for christmas cocktails 🤞
Shannon on 2023-12-14 (5 stars): This is a terrific gift idea that we will probably try right away! I wanted to share that if you just need that fix immediately if not sooner… you can simply put a mini candy cane (or three) directly into your cup and pour your hot coffee over it and it works the same way.Â
I make pour over coffee so it’s boiling hot but it will still dissolve in a cup of regular brew with a tiny bit more time. Tis the season to not have quite enough time!Â
