DIY Instant Oatmeal by the tub

Everyone seems to make the Instant Oatmeal packets, and makes them BY the packet. Well, I tried tat, and making 15 of the stupid things, every single week, is a PITA. I'd rather make a big batch, then grab a 1/2 cup per day... or, for the grown-ups, send a big baggie to work, where we can make bigger or smaller amounts as needed with the hot water that's available at the office. 

So here's how I make it:

1 42oz. tub of quick oats
2 tsp salt
4 tsp cinnamon
1tsp cardamom
1tsp allspice
2.5 cups brown sugar
1/4 cup flaxseed meal (or other additives)
1-1.5 cups of dry milk
 3 bags of freeze-fried berry mix 
ziplock snack sized baggies

Directions:

Mix all the things forever. Portion out as you see fit. 
Enjoy!
