Favorite Recipe: Chai Latte Mix

This is one of my favorite beverages. I can even the remember the very first cup that I ever drank at a coffee cafe in Gainesville, Florida. I prepare this as a sugar free version, but feel free to substitute the real deal. Not only is this a great mix to have around the house, but it would be a great host/hostess gift for all of those holiday gatherings that are right around the corner. Just put the mix in an airtight jar and attach a bow with preparation instructions...done and done. Yields 8 servings. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup Splenda
1/4 cup non-dairy powder coffee creamer
1/4 cup powdered milk
1/4 cup sugar-free CoffeeMate Vanilla non-dairy powder coffee creamer
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Directions:
1) Mix together all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Process the mixture in a food processor until smooth (this will make sure that the spices are evenly distributed). Store in an airtight container.
2) Boil water and steep your favorite bag or loose tea in a mug. Both black and white tea work well. Remove tea bag and stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons of the chai latte mixture. Let mixture sit for 2 minutes before drinking.
