Time 45m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup whole milk
10 black tea bags
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
Zest of 1 lemon
2 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cupcake pan with 12 liners.
  • Heat the milk in the microwave for 1 minute, stir and then add 30 more seconds. Place the tea bags in the milk and allow steeping for 5 minutes.

  • For the frosting: Cream the butter in the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add the lemon zest. Slowly alternate adding the confectioners' sugar and 1/2 cup reserved tea until you reach the desired frosting consistency.
  • Frost the cooled cupcakes and serve.

4 cups water
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
8 tea bags

Refrigerate and serve over ice.
