I have another craft fair coming up this weekend. I really want new designs to sell, so I have been hard at work with making more leather goods and ornaments. So far I am liking how they are all turning out but I think the fumes might be making me a little loopy! LOL

What I make and sell at Craft Fairs:
Recently I added my handcrafted leather wallets and coin wallets to the mix. I also sell, but do not make:
![]() This year, while my husband and I were visiting family, my husband stumbled upon a new favorite for him at the coffee house. It's called a Dirty Chai Tea. What is a Dirty Chai you ask? It is an awesome marriage of 1-2 shots of Espresso and Chai Tea Latte, and it is... DIVINE! One thing I have learned about living in rural Nebraska is that if you find something you like in the city, there is a good chance that you won't be able to get it in our town. So it got me thinking...I could totally make a mix for him and he can have it anytime he wants. Now granted, it's not going to be exactly like the coffee house, but I have to admit, it's pretty darn close. INGREDIENTS 2 cups dry instant nonfat milk 1 cup non-dairy powdered coffee creamer 1 1/2 cup French Vanilla flavored non-dairy powdered coffee creamer 2 cups instant coffee crystals (or 1/3 Espresso Powder) 3 cups white sugar 2 cups unsweetened instant tea 3 tsp. ground cinnamon 2 1/2 tsp ground ginger 1 tsp ground clove 2 1/2 tsp. ground cardamom* 1 tbs pink peppercorns** (optional) 1/2 tsp kosher salt DIRECTIONS Combine all ingredients in a large bowl with a wire whisk. Using a food processor or a blender, add a couple of cups at a time and blend until it becomes a fine powder. When pouring the fine powder into a clean mixing bowl, make sure to pass it through a strainer to get out the peppercorns that did not grind up all the way. Store in an airtight container - I used a 1/2 gallon Ball Jar (and a 1/2 pint jar for the overflow). To serve – add 3 tsp. to a mug of hot water, add a dash of milk. *cardamom can be hard to find, and can be a little expensive. You can substitute nutmeg in its place. Will have a slightly different taste, but still tastes very yummy. **peppercorns - it is very important to not substitute these with anything else. If you do not have them, leave them out. Regular pepper is too strong, and has a different flavor profile. |
