Frosty Spiced Mocha Blend

nomnom's Note:

Came up with this off the cuff. Closest thing to a chai coffee. I like the Ovaltine because if contains nutrients and has a nice flavor. Feel free to tweak with the spices and even add milk, if so inclined! :)

This was tasty, but the cinnamon was a little too strong for me. I think next time, I will use just a dash like the other spices. Very nice drink for sitting on the patio and relaxing :)
