Hot Spiced Tea for 1!
Originally this was a recipe for low carb hot chai tea, but seeing the lack of chai tea ingredients such as wheat products around my house, a few higher than necessary carbs and equal (which I don't keep on hand) I chose to adapt it to my own liking.
1/2 cup tap water
1 bag constant comment tea bag
1/2 cup milk, hoods calorie countdown, hot
1 tbs splenda granular
1/4 tsp vanilla
2 whole cloves
1 Add tea bag, water, whole cloves to 2 cup glass microwaveable measuring cup. Microwave until boiling. (Be careful as boiling liquids in microwave can build up pressure and explode).
2 Add splenda and milk to make 1 cup liquid. Careful - did I mention something about explosions?
3 Microwave to boiling again.
4 Fish out tea bag and discard. You can fish out the cloves or leave them. They look neat floating in the cup I think. Add vanilla and stir carefully (exploding tea anyone?)
5 Serve HOT HOT HOT. Best enjoyed sipped slowly in front of a window with a good view of a snowy landscape where the birds are eating all that bread you don't want around anymore.
