Vanilla Vodka Chai Cocktail

Refreshing Beverage of the Week
This is not your usually hippy tea drink. It's full of flavor and alcohol, what more can you ask for?

Ingredients
6 oz. strong Chai Tea (I used 1 tea bag for 6 oz. water)

2 oz. vanilla vodka
3/4 oz. amaretto liqueur
1/2 oz. simple sugar
1/2 oz. half n half

Procedure
Bring 3 cups of water to a boil and steep 4 tea bags for 2 to 4 minutes (following the tea directions on the box). Allow to cool and refrigerate until time of use (3 cups tea will yield 4 drinks). In a cocktail shaker or tall glass, combine ingredients and shake or stir generously. Fill glass with ice and pour drink over ice. Garnish with a cinnamon stick or two. Breate deeply.
