Instructions

1. Mix It Up

In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients.
Whisk or stir thoroughly to remove clumps and ensure even distribution.

2. Jar It

Transfer the mix to a clean, airtight container (Mason jars work perfectly).
Tap gently to settle, and seal tightly.

3. Store

Keep in a cool, dark, dry place for up to 2 months.

4. Serve

Scoop 2–3 heaping tablespoons of mix into your favorite mug.
Pour ~8 oz hot water over the mix and stir until fully dissolved.
Top with whipped cream, a cinnamon stick, or a dusting of cocoa/cinnamon for festive flair.

5. Hosting Tip

Create a “Christmas Coffee Bar”: provide jars of mix, scoops, hot water, mugs, and toppings for an interactive, crowd-pleasing station.

Notes

Clumpy mix? Stir or pulse in a food processor briefly.
Decaf option: Swap instant coffee one-to-one.
Too much clove? Reduce to ¼ tsp or skip; consider a pinch of black pepper for warmth.
Keep it fresh: Pantry storage is best; avoid refrigeration to prevent moisture.
