There’s a few things that really say “southern”.
Cobbler, pecan pie and sweet tea. A regular requested a new flavor: Sweet Tea
cupcakes with Lemon-based frosting! So I began research and went to work!
I changed the recipe I found up a bit. I
accidently added all the tea/milk mix into the batter instead of half. I have
found heavy whipping cream successful in frosting so I decided to add that to
the frosting recipe. (I micro waved it first then steamed 3 tea bags. One bag
broke from the extreme heat and so some loose tea was incorporated into the
frosting—didn’t hurt it.) I also added lemon juice too. I was successful in the
frosting and the sweet tea cupcakes successful as well!
Here’s
the ravings:
“It was like eating a glass of good sweet tea.”
“The frosting was light and a great combination
with the tea cupcake.”
“I wouldn’t be offended if you made a more
concentrated “tea” for the batter.”
“They were very moist. Not too sweet; creamy and
perfect.”
So overall, success! I’m excited to try out more
drink-based cupcakes!
