Prepare the Dry Mix: Begin by combining the instant coffee granules, granulated sugar, and instant nonfat dry milk powder in a large plastic freezer bag. Roll up the bag to eliminate excess air, then seal it securely. Unroll the bag and, using a rolling pin, crush the ingredients until they form a fine, even grind. Incorporate the unsweetened cocoa powder and vanilla extract, tossing the mixture to ensure thorough combination. Tip: Rolling the dry milk with the other ingredients prevents clumping when added to liquid.
