Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt or a dash of vanilla extract to the dry mix. If you want a creamier texture, substitute whole milk powder for the nonfat dry milk. You can also experiment with flavored creamers, such as hazelnut or vanilla, for a unique twist. This mix can be adjusted for sweetness by varying the amount of confectioners sugar used.
