I made the tea in a saucepan on the stove with 2 c. water and 2 tea bags. I kept the spices as written. I poured the tea through a metal strainer. Then, I mixed the tea with the milk (skim). There was still a little sediment at the bottom of my drink, but it wasn't bad. I agree with others that this is a little sweet. I will reduce the brown sugar next time. Overall, this is excellent! UPDATE: My daughter and I made this again. This time, we put the spices in a coffee filter and tied it shut. We added the tea bag and spices to hot water and brewed it for 5 minutes. We also substituted sweetened vanilla almond milk for the milk and Pumpkin Spice almond milk creamer for the creamer. Excellent!

Excellent recipe! I have also tried this with chocolate creamer and it's really great too! I wouldn't recommend using vanilla flavoring over the creamer as the taste gets thrown off. I have done it both ways and using the extract makes it taste way too sweet!

So delicious!!! Better than Starbucks Chai latte to me! I added only 1/8 cup of brown sugar and used vanilla flavoring instead of the creamer. Also added two cloves as well. I will be making this over and over again, thanks so much!

I'm so grateful for this post, because it's one of the only recipes that don't call for cardamom, which I don't currently have. Also, I love the coffee maker method! Great way to avoid straining. Now for the cons, I thought it was still too sweet, and I only added half the sugar. Also, I don't think it is spicy enough, so I'm going to play around with the spices. If you don't have French vanilla creamer, just add a SMALL splash of vanilla extract. That's what I did, and it still tasted good. Thanks for the recipe!

I was wanting to go to my local coffee shop today, but decided to stay home and see what I could make. I remember bookmarking this recipe in S&D. It was delicious! Almost as good as a $5 latte at Starbucks!
