What size mason jars do you use here?
Hi Linda. You’ll use pint size jars for these (16 ounces). They’re the regular sized canning jars, not the bigger ones. Thank you for stopping by!
does this make one 16oz jar? I need to make 6. After it’s mixed how much do you put in in a mug and do you use milk or water. Sounds like the gift I want to make. Please respond soon !!!!!
Hi Christine! Yes, it makes one 16 oz. jar so if you need to make 6, then you’d have to multiply the ingredients by that many. The label that you can print from inside the post explains……you put 1/3 of the mix into a mug and pour in 1 cup of boiling water. You can use milk though. Some prefer the richness and creaminess of milk vs. water.
