Recipe for red & black chai

Mostly the name is snappy, but this combination has a really nice flavor too:

Red & Black Chai
Boil 3/4 cup water in a saucepan. Add 1 bag rooibos chai and 1-2* bags black tea. Allow it to brew for a minute, then add milk slowly, keeping the mixture hot. Remove the teabags and add 1 tablespoon sugar. Add more milk to adjust the volume if needed and heat to desired temperature.

Specifically, I used:
Yogi Tea Chai Redbush
Stash English Breakfast Tea
2% cow's milk
Bulk cane sugar

*I only tried it with 1 bag of black, but if you wanted more caffeine, I think the flavor would still be good with 2.
