• Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
• Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the Frosting:

• In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
• Gradually add the powdered sugar and chai tea powder, mixing until well combined.
• Add the milk or cream, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency.
