Tips:
● If you prefer one spice more over another, you can adjust the spice amounts to match your preferences.
● If you make the drink recipes, be sure to adjust the amount of spice mix and sweetener to suit your tastes.
● This tastes better the longer the spices get to sit in the liquid. The flavors truly shine their best if you blend or heat them over a stove when preparing.
● You can use one of those little handheld milk frothers in place of a blender as well, although I still find that the blender is still a bit better at it.
● You can make this recipe from whole spices and get an even more robust flavor out of it.
