This easy chai frosting recipe is naturally flavored with instant chai concentrate and masala chai ("chai tea") spices. You can use it as cake icing, or you can use it to frost cookies, cupcakes, or other sweets.

1/2 cup (4 ounces) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
4 tablespoons instant chai concentrate, such as Rishi's Masala Chai Tea Concentrate

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream all the ingredients except for the confectioners' sugar and chai tea concentrate.
Once the butter mixture is light and fluffy, begin adding the sugar 1 heaping tablespoon at a time. Beat the mixture as you add the sugar, or beat it until it is smooth in between adding each scoop.
Add 3 tablespoons of the chai concentrate. Beat until smooth
Add more chai concentrate as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
If desired, chill the frosting before using it to ice cake, cupcakes, or other baked goods.
