Chai tea mix

Ingredients

2 cups dry milk powder
1 cup French vanilla flavored non-dairy creamer
2 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups unsweetened instant tea
1 tbsp. ground ginger
1 tbsp. ground cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1 tsp. ground cardamom

Directions

To make the mix:
In a large bowl, use a whisk to thoroughly blend all ingredients. Add ingredients, 1 cup at a time, to a blender or food processor. Blend until mixture is the consistency of fine powder. Store in pint jars with tight-fitting lids. If you use nonfat dry milk powder, reduce the amount to 1 cup and add 1 cup powdered non-dairy creamer.

To make the tea:
Stir 2 heaping tbsp. mix into a mug of hot water.

Makes about 6 pints
