Note

Storage: Keep the mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It will stay fresh for up to 6 months.

Variations: Add a teaspoon of instant espresso powder to the mix for a mocha flavor, or mix in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract powder for extra aroma.

Serving Tip: For a frothier texture, use a milk frother when mixing the powder with hot water. You can also top with whipped cream or a dusting of cinnamon.

Substitutions: If you prefer a dairy-free option, ensure the non-dairy creamer and powdered milk are both plant-based (e.g., soy or almond powder).
