It's (almost) Valentine's Day! Have you gotten those chocolates yet? What about that oh-so-perfect card covered in glitter hearts? A dinner reservation at your favorite fancy restaurant?

No? That's all right. You could probably find a $50 bouquet last minute, or you could surprise your Valentine with these decadent (and affordable) coffee drink recipes. Imagine the look on their beautiful face when you bring them a handmade treat. There's no gift better than one you made yourself, especially when it's made with love.
