Here you go!

Chai Tea Latte--Taste of Home (my modifications)

2 individual tea bags
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1 cup water
1 cup milk (I used unsweetened almond milk)
1/4 cup packed brown sugar (Splenda)
2 tablespoons refrigerated French vanilla nondairy creamer (nonfat half and half and a 1/2 teaspoon vanilla)
whipped topping and ground nutmeg, optional (no options here!)

Directions:
Place the tea bags, cinnamon, ginger and allspice in the coffee filter of a drip coffee maker. Add water; brew according to manufacturer's directions. (I boiled water on the stove and poured it over the tea bags and spices in a mug)

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. (I used the same saucepan as I boiled water in and heated up the ingredients while the tea steeped.) Pour milk mixture into mugs, stir in tea. Dollop with whipped topping and sprinkle with nutmeg, if desired. Yield: 2 servings. (I fished out the tea bags and poured the tea mixture through a fine mesh strainer. Then I mixed them together and put them into a container with a lid. Let it cool on the counter some before sticking it in the frige to chill.)

End of Recipe

I think this would make fantastic ice cream, if I can figure out if I need to add anything before sticking it in the ice cream maker. Haagen Daas makes a chai tea latte ice cream that is wonderful--but it was a limited time flavor. Also, I think if you made this into ice cubes, then you could chill down the latte much faster, so you didn't have to wait hours to drink it.
