How to Make Cafe Vanilla Or Cafe Vanilla Caramel

  1. Add 1 cup (100g) of instant coffee crystals to a food processor. Process on high speed until finely powdered (about 1 minute).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the powdered coffee with 1/2 cup (100g) nonfat dry milk powder, 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar (or to taste, adjust based on sweetness preference), and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix on low-medium speed until well combined (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. For the Caramel version: Add 1 tablespoon of caramel powder or extract and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon to the mix and continue mixing for another minute.
  4. Store the mixture in an airtight container. To prepare one serving, add 4 teaspoons of the coffee mix to a mug. Add 8 ounces (240ml) of hot water and stir quickly until dissolved.
  5. For Cafe Vanilla: Add 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract to each cup of prepared coffee for extra flavor.
