Note
Store the mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness and prevent clumping.
You can adjust the sweetness by reducing the amount of sugar in the mix or by adding less mix to your mug.
For a richer flavor, use high-quality instant coffee crystals rather than granules.
This mix makes a wonderful homemade gift. Package it in a decorative jar with a tag indicating the preparation instructions.
If you prefer a dairy-based creaminess, substitute the dry non-dairy creamer with powdered milk.
