Equipment
Ingredients

- ¾ cup dry milk powder
- ¼ cup powdered coffee creamer vanilla flavor. Or use our recipe at https://thisoldbaker.com/powdered-coffee-creamer-3-ingredient/
- ¼ cup granulated sugar or monkfruit
- 2 ½ tablespoons vanilla powder
Instructions
- Combine the Dry Ingredients
- In a medium mixing bowl, add your instant coffee, dry milk, powdered creamer, sugar, and vanilla powder. Give it a gentle stir to mix the layers before blending.
- Blend for a Smooth Café-Style Texture
- Pour the mixture into a food processor or blender. Pulse 6–10 times until the mix looks soft, uniform, and slightly finer in texture.
- This step helps everything dissolve beautifully in hot water.
- Fill Your Pint Jar
- Spoon the blended mixture into a clean, dry pint mason jar. Tap the jar gently on the counter to settle the mix without packing it down.
- Add Serving Instructions to the Tag
- Stir 2–3 tablespoons of mix into 8 ounces of hot water. Add more if you like it bold and café-shop rich.
- Seal & Store
- Tighten the lid and store in a cool, dry pantry for up to 6 months.
