Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Heat milk until warm (not boiling) and steep chamomile tea bags for 10 minutes. Remove tea bags and allow milk to cool.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Alternate adding the flour mixture and chamomile milk to the batter, mixing until just combined.
- Divide batter evenly among cupcake liners, filling about 2/3 full.
- Bake 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
- For frosting, beat butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
- Frost cooled cupcakes and garnish with chamomile flowers or a light honey drizzle if desired.
Notes
For a stronger chamomile flavor, steep the tea longer or add a small amount of finely ground chamomile to the batter. These cupcakes pair wonderfully with tea or honey-sweetened frosting.
