Store the spiced coffee mix in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to maintain its freshness. It can last for several months if kept away from moisture. When you want to use it, simply scoop out the desired amount and mix it with hot water. Avoid refrigerating, as this can introduce moisture and cause clumping.
