Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter
• ³⁄₄ cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 2 Earl Grey tea bags
• ¹⁄₂ cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. In a small saucepan, heat the milk until hot but not boiling. Add the Earl Grey tea bags and let steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the Earl Grey-infused milk. Mix until just combined.
6. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cupcakes.
9. Serve and enjoy!
