Vanilla Chai Tea Latte Mix
Ingredients
1 cup nonfat dry milk powder
1/2 cup powdered non-dairy creamer (I used Coffee-mate)
1 ½ cups French vanilla powdered non-dairy creamer
1 ½ cups unsweetened instant tea
2 ½ cups white sugar
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon cloves
½ teaspoon cardamom
½ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon all spice
Directions
1. Combine all ingredients. – you may want to add more or less spices depending on how the drink tastes to you.
note: I ran the tea and spice through my food processor – you don’t have to.
2. Store in an airtight container or large mason jar.
3. Add two-three tablespoons of mix to 8 ounces of hot water or milk.
note: I like mine with milk or almond milk. I heat the milk up on the stove and add the mix and then use a hand frother for some foam.
