Chai Cupcakes

Even though I don't eat cupcakes I absolutely love Chai and wanted to combine my two favourites, Chai and baking cupcakes.
Was not sure if mr m.e would like them as he is a coffee drinker and I did try a while back to make them but he definitely was not impressed with that version.
Thankfully with these, most of them have already been devoured and the verdict was that they are like a moist spice tea cake.
