Homemade Sugar-Free Cappuccino Mix

My homemade sugar-free cappuccino mix recipe is the perfect holiday gift. Treat your friends so they can make deliciously spiced and creamy cappuccinos at home.

This homemade cappuccino mix is special for two very important reasons:

1. It is a coffee drink!

2. Thanks to sugar-free products, I can actually drink it!

What a perfect gift for that person who is dieting or has to watch their sugar. At last, something for us! This sugar-free cappuccino mix couldn’t be easier to make. All you need to do is combine the ingredients in a bowl. Those ingredients I hear you ask? Instant coffee, Nesquik, powdered coffee creamer, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and Splenda.

The homemade coffee mix has the perfect blend of warm spices, sweetness, coffee, and creaminess. To gift, I pop some of the dry mix in a half-pint jar and add a festive tag with instructions (I’ve included them below too). Then to make a homemade cappuccino, all you or your loved ones need to do is combine a few tablespoons of the mix with hot water and voila, it’s coffee time!

I just put mine in a little half-pint jar and cut a circle of Christmas fabric with pinking shears to put under the screw-on ring.

I have tags available below to put on this too.

Now, how do you make a cappuccino from your mix?

All you need to do is add 3 tablespoons of cappuccino mix to 8 ounces of hot water, stir, and you have yourself a homemade cappuccino.

Storage

When stored in an airtight container in a cool dry place (like your pantry) this dry coffee mix will last up to 2 months.

Recipe Notes

  • Now personally, I don’t care for nutmeg and I never have. However, I bought it just to use for this recipe and decided I’d put it in as the original recipe called for. I figured I’d change my mind and perhaps realize that I hadn’t given nutmeg a good chance before. Guess what? I learned that I just really don’t like nutmeg. If you do, that’s great! If you don’t, I would encourage you to leave it out and add more cinnamon in its place.
  • If you don’t mind not being sugar-free, you can use any type of sugar in this recipe: granulated sugar, coconut sugar, brown sugar, you name it!
  • Have fun with the coffee creamer and use any flavor you like, like hazelnut or french vanilla non-dairy creamer.
  • If you want an even creamier cappuccino, substitute the hot water for hot milk instead.

  1. Thank you for this! I have not tried it yet, but I am diabetic and I LOVE coffee drinks. And I am so glad you don’t use any weird sweeteners.

  2. Hey—can you break this down for me as I would love to try as I love, really love cappuccino, but I am diabetic and this might help—-I do not want to make a lot just to find out I do not like it or that it also runs my numbers up—Thanks—JW
