Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
- Warm 3/4 cup milk in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly to make sure it does not burn, until piping hot but not boiling. Add chai tea bags; set aside and steep for 10 minutes.
- Beat sugar and butter together in a medium bowl using an electric mixer until creamy. Beat eggs in 1 at a time. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Combine flour, baking powder, and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Add flour mixture to butter mixture and mix well. Stir in 1/2 cup chai mixture until batter is smooth. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cupcakes cool to room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Blend together butter and 2 cups confectioners' sugar in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth. Add remaining chai mixture and gradually add remaining 1 cup confectioners' sugar while continuously mixing. Blend until frosting is smooth and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Place frosting into a piping bag, snip off tip of bag with scissors, and pipe onto cooled cupcakes.

CHAI LATTE CUPCAKES (FROM BETTY CROCKER)
From the Betty Crocker website. I LOVE these cupcakes. A nice grown-up taste and very simple to make using a cake mix. I like 'Zaar "Recipe #19353" for the vanilla frosting but you can use your own or pre-purchased frosting.

Tips for Making the Best Chai Latte Cupcakes:
- For a more pronounced chai flavor, use a strong chai tea infusion or a double dose of chai spice mix.
- Make sure the chai tea mixture is cooled before adding it to the cupcake batter to prevent curdling.
- Do not overmix the batter; overmixing can result in dense, tough cupcakes.
- Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full to prevent overflowing during baking.
- Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them.
- For a smooth, creamy frosting, make sure the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugar.
- Decorate the cupcakes with additional chai spices, such as ground cardamom or cinnamon, for an extra touch of flavor.
