Lady Grey Cupcakes with Yuzu Cream

I love tea, be it Chinese, English or Citrus. I do have a collection of teas in my pantry and Lady Grey is one of them.

Lady Grey is a light black tea blend, which has been flavoured with lemon and orange and scented with a hint of Bergamot. The aroma is definitely citrus.

I used one tablespoon of grinded tea leaves to bake six cupcakes. I ended up with six nicely scented cupcakes and for that definite citrus kick I topped them with Yuzu cream. Trust me, Yuzu and Lady Grey are very good partners.
