housekeeping

Having a blog is an excellent way to flex my design muscles! There are a few small changes to to blog today. New buttons, a little "about me" section, bloglovin' widget. And no more AdSense Ads! They cluttered the place up and didn't do me any good.

chai latte

I came across this recipe on Pinterest (where else?) for instant chai latte mix. This would make an easy Christmas gift for co-workers and acquaintances. It would look especially cute packaged in a mason jar with a square of fabric on top, and my custom tag (see below) tied on with twine.

Ingredients
1 cup Nonfat Dry Milk Powder
1 cup Powdered Non-dairy Creamer
1 cup French Vanilla Flavored Powdered Non-dairy Creamer
1-½ cup White Sugar
2-½ cups Unsweetened Instant Tea
2 teaspoons Ground Ginger
1 Tablespoon Ground Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Allspice
1 teaspoon Nutmeg
1 teaspoon Ground Cloves
1 Tablespoon Ground Cardamom
½ teaspoons White Pepper

Instructions
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well.
In a blender or food processor, blend 1 cup at a time, until mixture is the consistency of fine powder.
Transfer the blended mix to a new bowl and continue processing the remainder of the ingredients until all of the mixture is finely ground.
Stir to recombine the processed ingredients.

To serve...

I uploaded a printable PDF here. It's 6 labels on an 8.5x11" sheet, with light grey lines for cut lines.

home

people say home is where the heart is or where your cat is or where your husband is but i find this sentiment much more relatable
