Spice

A friend of mine had asked me if I had tried anything with tea then she came up with this brilliant little gem. a Chai spice cupcake with cinnamon butter cream! As soon as she said it I new I had to make it. But how would I get that flavor? Easy- real tea! I used a mortar and pestle to grind the tea into a fine powder before putting it into the batter. You could smell the chai throughout the house as it baked in the oven. I was so excited. I'm not sure what it was about the tea but these cupcakes and the combination of the cinnamon butter cream were so comforting. They would have gone perfect with coffee or I don't know, maybe a cup of tea? lol  They were also falling apart moist! So yummy!!! Once again, another hit.
