A lovely change of pace from cafe au lait, cappuccino, or hot chocolate, and lower in fat and calories, too.

4 fresh or crystallized ginger slices
2 1-1/2 x 3-inch orange peel strips (orange part only)
6 whole cloves
2 cups low-fat milk
6 teaspoons tea leaves
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar

Combine first 5 ingredients in heavy large saucepan. Cover and simmer 10 minutes. Add milk and tea, bring to boil and simmer 2 minutes.

Turn off heat and steep 4 to 6 minutes, according to desired strength. Mix in sugar. Strain tea.

This recipe can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover and chill. Warm before serving.
