Mayan Mocha is a popular coffee beverage that originated in Central America. It's a spicy twist on traditional mocha, infused with ingredients like pumpkin pie spice and ground red pepper that give it a kick of heat. This recipe uses nonfat dry milk powder, which adds a creamy texture without the added fat of cream. The end result is a delicious and indulgent coffee beverage that is perfect for chilly mornings or an afternoon pick-me-up. The Mayan Mocha Powder is also a great alternative to traditional hot chocolate, perfect for those who prefer coffee over cocoa.

1.	In a blender, combine the dry milk powder, instant coffee granules, sugar, cocoa powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and ground red pepper.
2.	Pulse the ingredients together until well combined and finely ground.
3.	Store the mixture in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
4.	To make a cup of Mayan Mocha, simply add 2-3 tablespoons of the powder to hot water, milk, or a combination of both.
5.	Stir well and enjoy!
