5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
7. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and the contents of the vanilla chai tea bags.
10. Once the muffins are completely cooled, drizzle the chai glaze over the tops.
11. Serve and enjoy!
