Green Tea Cupcakes

4 green tea bags

1/4 cup boiling water

125g butter, softened

2/3 cup caster sugar

2 eggs

1 1/2 cups self-raising flour

1/4 cup milk

Lemon icing

1 3/4 cups icing sugar mixture

10g butter, melted

2 tablespoons lemon juice

Lemon zest, to decorate

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Line a 12-hole, 1/3 cup-capacity muffin pan with paper cases.
2. Place 2 tea bags in a heatproof jug. Add boiling water. Stand for 5 minutes. Remove and discard bags. Remove leaves from remaining tea bags. Place tea, tea leaves, butter, sugar, eggs, flour and milk in a bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat on low speed for 30 seconds or until combined. Increase speed to medium. Beat for 3 minutes or until pale and thick.
3. Spoon into cases. Bake for 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted in centre of 1 cake comes out clean. Stand in pan for 5 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Remove cases (optional).
4. Meanwhile, make icing: Place icing sugar and butter in a bowl. Stir in lemon juice until smooth. Spread each cupcake with icing. Top with lemon zest. Stand for 10 minutes or until icing has set. Serve.
