• Step 1

  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

• 

  Step 2

  Soften butter. It's easier to melt in the microwave in short increments, just don't make it too hot!

• 

  Step 3

  Measure and whisk in the following one at a time: sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, flour.

• 

  Step 4

  Cut open tea bags and add to mix. Add 1-2 more bags or green tea powder if you'd like a stronger tea flavor.

  Optional: add green food coloring until the batter reaches desired shade.

• 

  Step 5

  Spoon batter about 3/4 into cupcake liners in a muffin baking tray. Bake at 400 degrees for about 16-18 minutes. They should be puffy on top. Let cool before decorating.

• 

  Step 6

  Cut out a tiny heart shape from a piece of paper (or any shape, if you prefer) and set on top of a cupcake.

• 

  Step 7

  Spoon some powdered sugar into a sifter and lightly tap to sprinkle the sugar over the stencil. Carefully remove heart stencil shake off any excess sugar. Use this method to decorate the remaining cupcakes.

• 

  Step 8

  Enjoy! :)

So, I changed this recipe and made it gluten free and vegan... It was a terrible idea. Rubbery and quite tasteless. Very cute tho! Im gonna try again with an even shorter cook time and possibly different ingredients entirely. Cool recipe. I hope I get the alternative ingredients right eventually. Also, I think it would be sweet to use Kava instead of green tea.
