Instructions

In a small saucepan, bring water and spices to a boil. Add tea bags and reduce to a gentle simmer. Allow to simmer and steep 5 to 7 minutes.
Stir in milk and sugar. Return to simmer (but do not boil). Simmer 2 to 3 minutes longer.
Remove tea bags. Strain mixture through fine mesh sieve lined with double layer of cheese cloth. Stir in vanilla, whisking vigorously to blend flavors and froth (or use a frother for the best foam). Pour into mugs to serve. Garnish with cinnamon stick if desired.
