Toasty

Ooo, baby...it's cold outside!!

Seriously, I talked to a program director of a radio station in Nebraska today. It was as cold in NC as it was in the midwest today. I had to dispel that poor man's pleasant notion of someplace warm. Sad.

So it looks like it's going to be cold for a little while longer, but I've got a remedy.

Chai tea latte.

It's my favorite, and my friends Dara and her mom Debra gave me a yummy recipe for a homemade instant kind. I'm sharing it with you so you can be toasty wherever you are.

Chai Tea Latte Mix

1 C. nonfat dry milk power
1 C. non-dairy powdered coffee creamer
1 C. French vanilla non-dairy coffee creamer
2 ½ C. white sugar
1 ½ C. unsweetened instant tea
2 tsp. ground ginger
2 tsp. group cinnamon
1 tsp. ground cloves
1 tsp. ground cardamom

In large bowl, combine all ingredients. Stir together well. In a blender or food processor, blend 1 cup at a time until mixture is consistency of fine power.

To serve: Stir 2 heaping teaspoons of mixture into a mug of hot water.
