Instructions
-Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Grease a donut pan with cooking spray.
-Using a mortar and pestil, grind up pumpkin spice chai tea.
-In a small sauce pan, heat milk until it's steamy, not boiling. Add in ground up chai and allow to steep for 5 to 10 minutes. Keep milk on a medium low and stir frequently to prevent milk from burning. Once fully infused, strain out loose tea leaves and set milk in a separate bowl
-In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar and baking powder and spices.
-Add egg, vegetable oil, and 3 table spoons of your infused milk, yogurt or sour cream and vanilla extract. Refrigerate remaining chai milk. Stir the batter until fully incorporated.
-Pipe donuts into a pan. You can use either a pastry bag or a ziplock bag. If you don't have either, you can spoon the batter evenly into the pan.
-Bake donuts for 10-12 minutes, until they are lightly brown and the a springy like appearance. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the pan. Once they are slightly cooled, remove donuts from pan and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
-Once donuts have cooled, it's time to prepare your glaze!
-In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, vanilla extract and remaining milk. Add the milk in slowly to make sure to fully incorporate the sugar so it's not clumpy. If it gets to runny, just add more powdered sugar.
-Dip the donut in on one side and return to the rack to cool! Sprinkle some cinnamon on if you want.
-Allow the glaze to set and serve!
