Make Your Own Take Along Coffee Packs
I love your idea about the coffee packets. However, you might want to take a look at the Dr. Mercola web-site and change your choice of sweetener. Aspartame is very dangerous. Powdered creamers are mostly chemicals. Sorry, just thought I should warn you about...
