Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, and chai spice mix.
In another bowl, combine granulated sugar and vegetable oil until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract and brewed chai tea.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients alternating with whole milk until just combined.
Fill cupcake liners with batter and bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
For frosting, beat unsalted butter until creamy; gradually add powdered sugar and chai spice mix until fluffy.
Frost cooled cupcakes generously and enjoy!
