I know what you're thinking: "A recipe for tea?" I tried this once, and it seems to make a subtly different cup of tea. Maybe it's because the tea is microwaved, instead of just adding it to hot water, or perhaps it's because the milk gets cooked a bit as well. Anyway, I like it. Tea purists will probably critizize the usage of tea bags. I usually make this in a 1 cup Pyrex measuring cup, which makes the measuring easier. The times are tailored for my microwave and may need adjustment, depending on the power of your microwave.

TEA

• 6 oz. cold water
• 1 tea bag of black tea
• sugar, to taste
• 2 oz. milk, whole or 2%

Put the water, tea bag, and sugar in a mug or other microwave-safe container. Microwave for 60 sec. It should boil. Let it steep for another 60 sec. Add the milk and microwave for 20 sec. Remove the tea bag and drink.
