Hi,

So the other day i really wanted to make some tea flavored cupcakes because i haven't baked in ages but doctor who was on soon and i was sort of rushing at the end and they turned out looking a bit amiture but i could of made them look a lot better with a bit more time.So i'm sure you would too.

Anyway on with the recipe because they tasted great...

Ingredients:

Method:
  1. Heat the milk and tea bags together gently until the milk has slightly changed colour.
  2. Next cream the sugar and margarine together until pale and fluffy.

  3. Then,add the eggs a little at a time and whisk between adding each bit.If it starts to split add a little of your measured flour.

  4. Once all the egg is added add the flour and baking powder and fold through with the spatula in a figure 8.
  5. Next add 3tbsp of the infused milk and mix.
  6. Next evenly distribute between the chosen cases and bake for 15 minutes in a oven at gas mark 5.
