I used to do the cinnamon sugar thing too Mod, and kept it in a salt shaker. I also make a great, cheap version of the Cafe Vienna instant coffee.
1/2 cup instant coffee
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup instant nonfat dry milk powder
1/4 cup powdered coffee creamer
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup store bought instant butterscotch or vanilla flavored pudding mix (optional)
Measure all of the ingredients into a clean, dry bowl. Use a fork to combine everything evenly. If you are ambitious, you can powder everything in a blender. I don’t always do this because I am lazy. You do get really impressive results from it though, and it is easier to do than one would expect. Transfer the mixture to a resealable container, or a pretty jar. Makes 2 1/2 cups.
To Prepare: Place 2 tablespoons of dry Cafe Vienna into a coffee cup. Add hot water to fill up the cup (about 3/4 cup hot water). Stir and serve.
Leave out the cinnamon, and try a flavored coffee creamer for a change up. I use a hazelnut dry creamer and it's delicious. Be sure you use Jello brand instant pudding, I've tried the cheaper brands and they just don't taste as good. You can also try different pudding flavors. I make a double batch of this every time I make it
