  • You can make two pint size jars by dividing the ingredients for each layer between the two jars.

For non-layered jars:

  • Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl and place in a quart jar or two pint jars.

Label the jar:

  • For layered jars, add a label that says to mix all the contents of the jar together and then use 1/3 cup of the mix with 3/4 cup of hot water.
  • For non-layered jars, add a label that says to use 1/3 cup of the mix with 3/4 cup of hot water.
