Raktijino: Klingon Mom Style

As I missed my coffee this morning, and have sorely felt the lack today, I thought I might share my recipe for "raktijino," or spiced coffee. I have overused several recipes for "raktijino," but none of them seem quite right for my taste. I make my coffee in a French press, since I am the only coffee drinker in the house, also I usually make half-decaf.  I am a wimp, but cut me some slack. I am a breastfeeding wimp, after all. I also don't really measure things that precisely. 

Ingredients
2 Tablespoons ground coffee
Dash Cinnamon
Dash Ginger
Pinch nutmeg, cardamom, cloves
Pinch crushed fennel seeds

Combine spices and coffee in French press, add approximately 8 oz. boiling water. Steep for a few minutes, then stir and plunge. While coffee is brewing, heat approximately 4 oz. milk. Combine milk and coffee, add sugar to taste.  Prepare for an honorable day of, I don't know, bat'leth training or something.
