Note

Store the mix in a cool, dry place in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to several months.

Adjust the amount of sugar substitute to taste depending on your preferred level of sweetness.

For a richer texture, you can substitute some of the nondairy creamer with powdered milk or add a dash of vanilla extract powder.

Ensure water is fully boiling when adding to the mug to help dissolve the powder completely.
