Host An Unforgettable Book Club Party

I found this recipe on Allrecipes.com and with 5 stars and over 650 ratings I had to give it a try.  I did decrease the amount of sugar compared to the original recipe and added a pinch of nutmeg (not sure if you would even be able to taste it in this recipe, but I love the smell of it!)  My husband went to the store for me and unfortunately I did not specify powdered when I asked him to get some French vanilla creamer, so I had to use what I had on hand which was almond creme.  It was fabulous.  This is a recipe I will continue to tweak, trying different spices and creamers.

Inspired by How to Bake a Perfect Life

Prep:  15 minutes    Servings:  36

Ingredients

• 1 cup nonfat dry milk
• 1 cup powdered non-dairy creamer
• 1 cup 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 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
• Pinch of nutmeg

Instructions

1. In a large bowl combine all the ingredients.  In a blender, food processor or coffee grinder, grind the mixture in batches until finely ground.
2. Stir desired amount into a mug of hot water.  I found I had to play around with the amount of mixture to add to the hot water.  For me,  2 tablespoons in a small mug and 3 tablespoons in a large mug was perfect!

Krups Coffee Grinder from Amazon

When I need to grind anything I love the efficiency of a coffee grinder.  You need to do this recipe in several batches, but I find that it does an excellent job and is so easy to clean up.  I actually have 2 coffee grinders…one for coffee and one for everything else.  This one is my favorite.
