1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup chai tea leaves
1/4 cup water
6 ounces room temperature cream cheese
1/2 cup room temperature butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon honey

3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 very ripe bananas
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon white vinegar

1
Brew your tea in the 1/4 cup of water. This works best if you don't use tea bags.
2
Pour the brewed tea, granulated sugar, and cinnamon into a small saucepan. Turn the stove on to medium heat until the mixture starts to boil, then turn it down to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
3
Take the mixture off the heat and let it steep for 20 minutes. It should turn into a thick sugary syrup.
4
Put all of the ingredients including the syrup into a large stand mixer and whip until everything is mixed in.
5
Spread the frosting on your cupcakes and enjoy!
6
In a large bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside.
7
Cream the butter and sugars together in a large stand mixer. Add the eggs and mashed banana, and continue to mix until somewhat smooth.
8
Combine the milk and vinegar together and then fold them into the flour mixture. Add the banana mixture to that and continue to fold. It will be thick.
9
Pour the batter into a lined muffin tin and bake at 350 for about 35 minutes.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
