In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, chai spice mix, baking powder, baking soda, and salt

Set aside

In another mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes

Stir in the vanilla extract

Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk in three parts, starting and ending with the dry ingredients

Mix until just combined

Fold in the brewed chai tea and brewed coffee until the batter is smooth

Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full

Bake 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 pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely

Once cooled, you can frost them with your favorite chai-flavored frosting or enjoy them plain

Sprinkle with a dash of chai spice mix for extra flavor if desired
