Jack's Chai Tea Recipe

My mom called me today during an SI session and wanted to know if I could come home tonight. I had forgotten that I was supposed to go to a doctor's appointment in the morning and she thought it would be easier if my dad came to get me tonight. While getting my stuff ready to go, I threw in a chai tea bag with my stuff. There's something mellowing about chai . . .

Anyways, here's my recipe for chai tea (a work in progress):
Oh and as a side note, I just kinda rough-hand most of my measurements.

1) In a big mug, add around 8 floz of boiling water on top of a chai tea bag. Let it steep for 3-5 minutes depending on personal preference.
2) Remove tea bag and add 1 tbsp. honey, mixing until fully disolved
3) Add around 1 1/2 tbsp. of a cinnamon-sugar mixture (that is 50-50 cinnamon and sugar) and stir
4) While stirring, add in a splash of vanilla extract to taste
5) add around 1/3 of a cup of milk (skim, whole, etc.), generally the more fattening, the better it tastes
6) optional: you could try adding nutmeg or cardamom to taste, although I haven't tried this out yet
7) Enjoy.

Have a good one, folks.
