Ingredients:
1 C almond milk

2 tsp vanilla
1 C  all purpose flour
1/3 C cocoa powder (I used dark chocolate cocoa)
1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt    

Frosting:
1/2 C Earth Balance vegan margarine (I used butter so it was no longer vegan)
3 1/2 C powdered sugar
2 chai tea bags

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Mix the vinegar with almond milk and let sit for 5 minutes.
3. Wisk together almond milk/vinegar with sugar, vanilla, and vegetable oil.
4.  In another bowl, stir together dry ingredients.
5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until combined.
6. Pour into greased muffin pan (or cup liners).
7. Bake for 25 minutes or until springy.
8. Cool completely before frosting.    
 Frosting:  

1. Beat the butter until soft.

2. Brew the tea in 2 tbsp of boiling water.  Let sit for 10 minutes to steep.

3. Add the 2 tbsp of almond milk to the tea.

4. Add the tea/milk mixture, plus the powdered sugar and cinnamon to the butter.
