Microwave chai

I like chai, but i have no decaf chai tea bags and the delicious stovetop method is ...well, ain't nobody got time for that (some days).

So i'm working on perfecting the microwave (+ kettle) method. Here's how it goes currently: fill cup 2/5 full of milk, add a small piece broken off a cinnamon stick plus cardamon seeds from three pods (ginger would also be good or allspice or any spice you feel like), microwave for about 40 seconds, then fill with hot water and a black tea bag and steep till you get the flavor you like. And of course add honey or sugar for sweetener.

And in less than two minutes, a hot cup of very good chai.
