Notes

[‘For a smoother mix, pulse the dry ingredients in a blender for 10-15 seconds before storing.’, ‘Take your time whisking to avoid clumps of powdered milk or spices.’, ‘Customize sweetness by swapping granulated sugar for stevia or monk fruit sweetener.’, ‘Experiment with spices like turmeric or cayenne pepper for unique flavors.’, ‘Package the mix in a jar with a ribbon for a thoughtful homemade gift.’]
