You may be wondering why I’m putting a tea review here instead of in the tea section.  Well, because it’s a make-your-own tea...sort of.  See, if I really love a food, I usually try to figure out a way to make it at home, so I can have it whenever I want.  I did it with lobster, so I figure I can pretty much do it with anything now.  My beloved chai was next on the Attempt-List.  Here is the recipe.

Chai Tea Latte

2 individual tea bags

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground ginger

1/4 tsp ground allspice

1 cup water

1 cup milk

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

2 Tbsp refrigerated French vanilla nondairy creamer

Whipped topping and ground nutmeg, optional

Place the tea bags, cinnamon, ginger and allspice in the coffee filter of a drip coffeemaker. Add water; brew according to manufacturer's directions.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the milk, brown sugar and creamer. Cook and stir over medium heat until heated through and sugar is dissolved. Pour milk mixture into mugs; stir in tea. Dollop with whipped topping and sprinkle with nutmeg if desired. Yield: 2 servings.
