INGREDIENTS
Here are all of the ingredients for the cupcakes. Preheat the oven to 350 F
Use the paddle attachment of your mixer
Cream softened butter in mixer until lightened in color
Now add the sugar and mix the two together on high speed until fluffy
Now, one by one, add the eggs in with the vanilla
Here is the mixture after the first egg
After the second egg
And finally here is the mixture after the third egg has been fully incorporated
Mix the tea, baking powder, and salt into the flour
Add a third of the flour mixture into the butter/egg mix
Now add half of the milk

And the rest of the milk
And now the remaining third of flour
Line cupcake tins with paper
Use an ice cream scoop or a 1/4 cup measure to evenly portion out the batter
Now into the oven for 15-20 minutes
After 19 minutes, the cupcakes were perfectly golden brown
Now while the cupcakes cool, it's time to make the icing
Use a paddle attachment again
Add the room temperature butter and the honey to the mixer and cream together
Now add two cups of the powdered sugar to the mixer
Mix on low and then gradually increase the speed until the sugar is fully mixed in
Now add some of the milk/vanilla mixture, about two tablespoons
Mix on medium speed until fully incorporated
Now add the rest of the sugar
Mix!
Add a tiny bit of milk at a time until you get the consistency you want. I only added another teaspoon
Mix on high until the icing is a lighter color
Fill a piping bag with the icing and a decorating tip of your choice
After icing the cupcakes, you can zest an orange on top of the icing for some extra color
Yum!!
