Tea Infused Cupcakes

Infusing the milk

   I got some teacup-cupcake cases for my birthday and I’ve been meaning to use them. I followed a recipe from “Cupcake Heaven” and began by adding 3 teabags to 200ml of milk and simmering in a pan. Whilst the tea mixture cooled I creamed butter and sugar, added eggs flour and baking powder. When the tea/milk was cool I added it to the mixture. I then filled my teacups ¾ full and I had some spare so I made some ordinary cupcakes as well. I finished the cupcakes with a swirl of plain buttercream and a dusting of cocoa powder. Upon tasting, they did have a hint of tea – but maybe I should have used Earl Grey instead of Tesco everyday value!!!
