Top 5 Foodie Favorites & Gourmet Food Gifts
1) Premium Wine Making Kit
Craft a Brew partnered with some of the world's most respected vineyards to bring you a DIY home wine making kit that will make outstanding wine right out of the box. It is designed to allow customers to make the best possible wine in their own kitchen on their first attempt. The premium kit uses only high quality ingredients and includes everything you need to create great tasting wine.
2) Cold Brew Tea Gift Set
Make your afternoon tea an iced one with a cold brew tea gift set. Cold brewing is a slow and gentle way to infuse tea that creates more intense flavors and aromas. This set has everything you need to brew your own at home, including organic and orthodox loose leaf teas. This means the tea is hand-picked and processed according to traditional practices and it is all sourced from small-scale, non-industrial tea farms. Brewing is easy—just steep the tea overnight in the container, strain, and enjoy.
3) DIY Cupcake Baking Kit
This DIY Cupcake Making Kit provides all the pre-measured ingredients and a detailed recipe card so you can make gourmet cupcakes at home, just add butter, eggs, and buttermilk. The kit is hand-packed from start to finish by the Red Velvet team in Brooklyn, NY. This is the easiest way to bake at home, and a memorable activity for the whole family.
4) Peanut Butter Knife - 2 Pack
Get every last bit from the bottom, rim, and sides of the jar—even the big ones—with this peanut butter knife. The extra-long, stainless steel blade has a curved tip that scrapes jars clean. It’s strong enough to stir and scoop peanut butter, natural nut butters, jams, thick oils and more, and it is extra broad to give you an ample serving with every swipe.
5) Floral Lotus Tisane & Teapot
Transform the age-old ritual of making tea. These dried tea flowers are actual lotus buds sourced from a monastery on one of China’s holy mountains. Their golden honey aroma evolves into a subtle, more herbal taste and fragrance as you drink. This kit includes a beautiful glass teapot with a wire filter that lets you enjoy the aesthetics, and eight to twelve lotus flower tisanes (each good for up to two infusions).
