British Tea Cupcakes

Rebecca of Chow and Chatter sent me some British Tea which I received yesterday. I was so excited and immediately drop one tea bag into my mug of boiling water, I can smell instantly the aroma of the refreshing tea flavour....Mmm...What a great cup of tea. Thanks again, Rebecca.

I have used the British tea to make some cupcakes today and this is for you, Rebecca. Hope you like this and bake some at home.
