Method

1. Place the nonfat powdered milk in a blender and pulse until it becomes a fine powder. If you have extra, measure out the 5 tablespoons needed and store the rest for later use.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients and stir thoroughly until evenly distributed.
3. Transfer the mixture into a spice jar with a shaker lid. You can reuse a store-bought seasoning shaker for convenience.

💡 Tips

• For a finer texture, sift the powdered milk after blending to remove any lumps.
• Adjust the salt to your taste if you prefer a less salty blend.
• Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
