Don't forget dried herbs & spices like tarragon, oregano, thyme, margoram,
garlic and onion powder or chips, chiles, some cinnamon to add to hot chocolate
and coffee, ditto for cloves. Some ginger or nutmeg to add to a powdered
egg/powdered milk custard sort of mix; very nutritious as well. I never made
that, but even the instant varieties could use some help.
