Hi! Great post. Question…might be obvious..each recipe makes enough for 1 jar? Meaning if I wanted to make 10 jars I’d have to do the recipe 10 times?

You can add Splenda cup for cup in place of the sugar. I use it in baking (my husband doesn’t eat sugar) and you really can’t tell the difference.

Just wanted to let you know I made the hot chocolate mix a couple of days ago for gifts and for home and it’s great! I even added a tablespoon or so to my morning coffee and it makes the coffee that much better! Thanks a bunch!

Julie- You could always try substituting with an artificial sweetener like Splenda. I am not sure what ratios would work or you could try leaving the sugar out and then controlling it per glass by adding it in with your boiling water on a cup by cup basis. Let me know if you experiment with this recipe! Thanks so much!

Love the vanilla chai tea mix that my niece just gave me for Christmas BUT- does anyone have an idea on how to cut down on or at least partially sibstitute any of the 2 1/2 cups of white sugar?
