Instant Vanilla Chai Tea Mix
(I usually double this recipe to have a lot on hand and give little bottles as gifts)
1 cup nonfat dry milk powder
1 cup powdered non-dairy creamer
1 cup French vanilla flavored powdered non-dairy creamer
1 cup Splenda or 1-1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom or a bit more (you can get this at SpiceSage.com if you can't find it in store)
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine milk powder, non-dairy creamer, vanilla flavored creamer, sugar and all spices.
2. In a blender or food processor, blend 1 cup at a time, until mixture is the consistency of very fine powder.
3. Spoon 1 heaping Tbsp. Chai tea mixture and your favorite tea bag into a mug (PG Tips teabags work well for this)
4. Add 1 cup hot water and stir well.
