Black Tea Cupcakes

Ingredients

1 tablespoon + 1 tsp of black tea mixture

cup of sugar, plus extra for topping

cup of butter, softened

1 teaspoon of cinnamon sugar, plus extra for topping

Preheat the oven to 320° F.

Line the cupcake tray with non-stick spray.

Boil 1/4 cup of water and add the tea mixture.

In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg, add the butter and sugar, then mix until light and fluffy.

Add the milk, flour and tea. Whisk until the consistency is light and creamy.

Divide the mixture evenly between each hole (about 3/4 of the way up, to leave space for their expansion).

Bake for 15-18 minutes until risen and firm to the touch.

Allow the cupcakes to cool down and rest until they're cool enough to eat.

Sprinkle the extra cinnamon and sugar to top and enjoy!

To make more, simply multiply all ingredients accordingly.

I came up with this recipe when I read up on the many positive qualities of Black tea.
