Lady Grey Cupcakes

(adapted from:  Patent and the Pantry)

• 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 egg
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/4 tsp. baking powder 
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tea bags Lady Grey tea, opened

Preheat the oven to 350. Beat the butter and sugar together until it is light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, making sure they are thoroughly combined before adding the next one. Mix together the dry ingredients, including the tea. Beat in half of the dry mixture with the wet, then add the milk and the rest of the dry mixture, stirring until just combined. Line the cupcake pan with 12 cups and fill them about two-thirds full. Bake 20 to 25 minutes. Cool thoroughly before frosting. 

**Recommended frosting: Lemon Buttercream.**
