Below are 5 dry pantry mixes you can keep on your pantry shelf or gift to others! These are simple to make and easy on your wallet.

Chai Drink Mix
The first one is a chai drink mix. This can be mixed with tea, coffee, or water. I love this mix so much! It is delicious and the recipe makes quite a lot!

This mix is delicious in hot coffee, tea, or water!

- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 3 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground cloves
Instructions

Sriracha Salt
This mix is so easy! Simple add 1 cup of salt and 1/4 cup of sriracha to a bowl and mix. Put it in an oven at 170 degrees F for 2 hours and then turn it off. Leave it to dry overnight without opening the door! Blend it in a food processor the next morning to break up the clumps and jar it up. This gift would be so cute paired with ramen noodles, fresh farm eggs, and a nice soup bowl.

Hot Chocolate Mix and Chocolate Pudding Mix
These two recipes are from another blog and I will link them below.

“Cream of” Mix

- 1 1/2 teaspoons of onion powder
- 3/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons of parsley
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt
Instructions
Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Transfer to a quart jar and store.
To use, stir 1/3 cup of mix with one to one and a half cups of liquid in a saucepan over medium heat. Let thicken. For cream of chicken, use chicken broth or chicken stock.
I hope enjoy all of these ideas!
