Tea flavors like matcha green tea and earl grey have been used in a variety of desserts before, but these honey cupcakes are frosted with a soothing chamomile buttercream. Created by Adrianna Adarme at the blog A Cozy Kitchen, the treats are like a dessert version of a calming cup of tea before bed. Perfect for serving on Mother's Day or if you have a cold, the honey cupcakes are topped with blackberries, fresh nasturtium leaves and organic chamomile leaves.
If you want to recreate these tea-themed treats, you will need four bags of chamomile tea, heavy cream, powdered sugar, salt and unsalted butter for the frosting. The honey-flavored cakes are a mild flavor made with real honey, vanilla extract and sour cream or yogurt among other ingredients.
