1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
A small pinch of nutmeg

Add cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and vanilla extract.
Add the chia seeds and honey (if you prefer a slightly sweet taste).
Blend everything until smooth and creamy.
Pour into a glass and let it sit for 5 minutes so the chia seeds slightly thicken the drink.
