Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor of your coffee mix, consider adding a pinch of salt or a splash of vanilla extract. For a creamier texture, substitute part of the nonfat dry milk with powdered creamer. If you're looking to lower sugar, use a sugar substitute like stevia or monk fruit. Experiment with different cocoa powders for a varied chocolate flavor. This mix can be easily adjusted to your taste preferences.

Pair it with a slice of Mrs. Le Tourneau'S Fruit Cake Or Lemon Cake for a delightful dessert experience. For an afternoon pick-me-up, enjoy it alongside some cookies or a light snack. This versatile drink can also be adapted for iced coffee during warmer months.

Store any leftover coffee mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three months. Ensure the container is completely sealed to prevent moisture from affecting the mix.
