Chai Tea Mix

1 cup nonfat dry milk powder
1 cup powdered non-dairy creamer
1 cup French vanilla flavored powdered non-dairy creamer
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 1/2 cups unsweetened instant tea
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cardamom (if desired, good without it too)

Directions
In a large bowl, combine milk powder, non-dairy creamer, vanilla flavored creamer, sugar and instant tea. Stir in ginger, cinnamon, cloves and cardamom. In a blender or food processor, blend 1 cup at a time, until mixture is the consistency of fine powder.

To serve: Stir 2 heaping tablespoons Chai tea mixture into a mug of hot water.

Footnotes

12/20/24 - This has been in my drafts for a long time.  I really like it.  It just has a lot of dairy in it with the dry milk powder, so I haven't made it again.  My tastebuds love it, my lactose-intolerant tummy did not.  :D
 
Cook's Note:
You may choose to omit the French vanilla creamer, and use 2 teaspoons vanilla extract instead. To do so, mix the vanilla into the sugar, let it dry, then break the sugar into small lumps. Follow the same procedure as above.

I found this on the all recipes site, have to give credit where credit is DUE!!

I changed 2 small things. I 1/2'd the cloves and took 1 cup of sugar off. It's plenty sweet. I did the calorie work up on this. For a 3 Tbs serving (which is a lot...if you are doing a small mug...you could reduce it to 2 Tbs)
