the versatility of chai...


I made some chai tea from an authentic recipe I own to add to my cupcakes. A little cardamom, ginger and cinnamon give this cupcake the reminiscent taste of a warm cup of chai tea. I iced the cakes with a cream cheese frosting with a little bit more ginger and cinnamon to give it an extra zing! To prepare your own, I recommend steeping a cup of chai tea using milk and spices as well as a scoop of loose leaf chai tea. Use the chai tea in place of the water or milk you use in a regular cupcake recipe.

enjoy :)
