Instructions

Warm the milk to about 110°F and combine with yeast and sugar; let bloom for 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, chai spices, salt, and sugar. Add bloomed yeast mixture along with eggs and vanilla; mix well.
Gradually incorporate softened butter until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
Let dough rise in a greased bowl for about an hour or until doubled in size.
Prepare filling by steeping chai tea bags in heavy cream; mix with remaining ingredients.
Roll out the dough, spread the filling evenly, roll tightly into logs, slice into pieces, and place in a greased baking dish.
Let rise again for about 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Mix frosting ingredients while rolls cool slightly; spread over warm rolls before serving.
