Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 black tea bags
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground allspice
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup milk any kind
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed, or to taste
  • 2 tbsp French vanilla creamer optional
  • whipped cream and nutmeg optional, for topping

Method
 

  1. Bring the water to a boil, remove from the heat and add the tea bags and spices. Steep 4 to 5 minutes, then remove the tea bags. (Or brew the tea bags and spices in the filter of a drip coffee maker.)
  2. Heat the milk, brown sugar and creamer in a small saucepan, stirring, until hot and the sugar dissolves.
  3. Pour the milk into mugs and stir in the tea. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg if you like.

Notes

For caffeine-free, use rooibos tea or the spiced milk version in the post.
