Test Kitchen - Earl Grey and Vanilla Chai Cupcakes (Gluten Free!)

These cupcakes were delicious!!!! If I hadn't made them myself I would never have believed they were gluten free. Plus, they were insanely easy to whip up. I didn't even bother to frost them they were that good! I'm sure they would be just as good with all Earl Grey or all Chai tea, but I happen to like the combination of the two so that's what  I went with.
