Ingredients (For the Crust):
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup melted butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon chai spice mix (ground cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves)
Ingredients (For the Cheesecake Filling):
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions:
Begin by creating a flavourful crust. Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, brown sugar, and chai spice mix in a bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner, setting the stage for the decadent layers to come.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and continue beating until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, incorporating each thoroughly. Stir in sour cream, brewed Rejuvenate tea, vanilla extract, and chai spice mix until the batter is smooth and rich.
Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust in each cupcake liner. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 325°F (163°C) until the edges are set, and the centers maintain a delightful jiggle.
Allow the mini cheesecakes to cool in the muffin tin for about 15 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Chill the mini cheesecakes in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
