1 1/3 cups water
3 spiced chai tea bags
2 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 (9-ounce) package white cake mix (such as Jiffy)

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0.
2
Coat a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray, and line with parchment paper. Set pan aside.
3
Bring 1 1/3 cups water to a boil in a saucepan; remove from heat and add tea bags. Cover and let steep 2 minutes; discard tea bags. Remove 1/2 cup tea from pan, and pour into a shallow bowl; place in freezer 10 minutes or until cool (do not freeze). Reserve remaining tea in pan.

Bake at 350u00b0 for 17 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan 10 minutes on a wire rack. Remove from pan, and carefully peel off parchment paper. Cool completely on a wire rack.
