Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 black tea bag
  • 1/4 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup creamer of your choice the refrigerated kind
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Boil water for the tea.
  • While the water is boiling, combine the sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg in a bowl. If you have a spice grinder, run the mixture through it to get a fine powder.
  • Once the water is heated, add 1 tablespoon of the dry mixture and stir.
  • Add the tea bag and steep the tea for 4-6 minutes.
  • While the tea is steeping, combine the milk, creamer, and vanilla extract in the milk frother and select your desired setting.
  • Once the milk is finished, pour into a mug, reserving the foam for the top.
  • If you didn't run the dry ingredients through a spice grinder, pour the tea mixture through a strainer and into your mug.
  • Top with foam or whipped cream and enjoy!
