Hot Tea Inspired Cupcake Recipes
Nothing goes better with cold weather than a nice cup of hot tea. So today I wanted to share some amazing recipes that were inspired by Earl Gray, Chai Spice, and Green Tea with Matcha Cream. Enjoy!!
Earl Grey & Lavender
This recipe comes to us courtesy of Elizabeth from Sugar Hero who says:
“These cupcakes are all decked out in their fanciest clothes, to celebrate all the mothers/aunts/grandmas/women out there! They start with a moist cake batter, infused with Earl Grey and lavender flavor. I actually used Earl Grey Jasmine tea bags, so they had even more of a floral aroma. The tea is steeped in the milk that goes into the batter, so it’s still a light flavor, not too overpowering or assertive.”

Chai Spiced Cupcakes
This recipe comes from Taste and Tell Blog writer, Deborah, who says:
“The flavors are phenomenal. You make a spice blend that has all of the flavors of chai tea, and then you add some to the cupcakes and some to the frosting. These cupcakes are warm and perfectly spiced and full of flavor. They may not look like anything special, but the flavor is perfection.“

Pistachio Green Tea Cupcakes with Matcha Cream Cheese Frosting
This recipe comes from Ashley at Spoonful of Flavor. She says:
“As we all know, the frosting is the real reason for having a cupcake and this green tea a.k.a. matcha frosting is so good! I used more green tea powder to give it that green hue and flavored it with both almond and vanilla extract. I’m pretty sure more of the frosting ended up in my mouth than on the cupcakes, I think we’ve all been there! If you’re looking for a fun and delicious St. Patrick’s Day treat to make and one that doesn’t involve boxed pudding or green food coloring, then give these Pistachio Green Tea Cupcakes with Matcha Cream Cheese Frosting a try, they do not disappoint!”
