Homemade Vanilla Chai Tea Mix

This is seriously good stuff!! We treated our babysitters (who I have yet to deliver to), Sunday School teachers and it was part of my homemade gift for my sister-in-law this Christmas. It's addicting so you might want to make a double-batch.

Homemade Vanilla Chai Tea Mix
from Amy at The Motherload

1 cup nonfat dry milk powder
1 cup powdered non-dairy creamer
1 cup French vanilla powdered non-dairy creamer
2 1/2 cups white sugar
1 1/2 cups unsweetened instant tea (I used decaff)
2 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp ground nutmeg (I grind mine fresh)
1 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp white pepper

Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until it is a fine powder. (If you have a small food processor (or blender), you can combine the instant tea and spices in the food processor and then combine everything in a bowl.) It's really important to finely grind the spices because they don't dissolve in water.

Add 2 to 3 tbsp of mix to 8 ounces of hot water and about 1/4 cup milk. Enjoy!!!

French Vanilla Hot Chocolate

This is a modified version of El's Hot Chocolate. It's super delicious.

French Vanilla Hot Chocolate Mix

10 cups powdered milk
1 lb Nestles Quick chocolate milk
2 tbsp cocoa
1 lb jar French Vanilla creamer

Mix and store in an ice cream bucket in the freezer.

Put 1/3 cup of mix into a mug and top with 2/3 cup of hot water. Enjoy!

This makes a great holiday gift. I've tried adding different flavored creamers, but French vanilla tastes the best.

El's Hot Chocolate Mix

This is one of my favorite recipes...only I just received it a year ago. It's something that I grew up with and it was made by a family friend. We drank this hot chocolate when we went camping and when we visited their house. Delicious and fun to make at home!

El's Hot Chocolate Mix

10 cups powdered milk
1/2 lb powdered sugar
1 lb Nestles Quick chocolate milk (sugar-free)
2 tbsp cocoa
1 lb jar Creamora

Mix together and store in an ice cream bucket in the freezer.

For hot cocoa mix 1/3 cup of the mix with 2/3 cup hot water. Enjoy!!
