Cooking Instructions
- 1
Create 40 ml of black tea using 3 tea bags, and cool. Use a spoon to press down on them and extract the flavor.
- 2
Attention: Tea leaves absorb moisture, so brew it with extra water (an extra 10 ml or so), then wring the tea out well and you should have 40 ml.
- 3
Thinly peel the lemon and roughly chop up the zest (I use a peeler). I got about 20 ml of juice from half a lemon.
- 4
Leave the butter out at room temperature, or soften in the microwave. Mix into a creamy state, then add the sugar and eggs in that order. Mix very very well.
- 5
Sift in the flour and baking powder.
- 6
Use a spatula to fold in the flour until the batter is no longer powdery.
- 7
Add the tea extract and lemon juice and mix. Mix well to form a cohesive batter. (Attention: the lemon juice and the tea together should total 60 ml).
- 8
Add in the tea leaves and lemon zest (you can set aside some lemon zest to use as a topping).
- 9
Pour the batter into a muffin pan and top with the lemon peel. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 ℃ for 25 to 30 minutes.
- 10
And they're complete! They have a lovely lemon-tea fragrance.

Milk Tea Muffins Milk Tea Muffins
I always use this rich powdered milk tea in place of normal tea leaves in recipes because it's easier to boil down.If you add the black tea leaves to the batter straight away, they will absorb all of the moisture and the batter will become hard. So make sure to steep in the milk tea mixture at Step 1. Feel free to use more or less sugar to suit your taste. Recipe by ko-ko

I'm into baking banana cakes and I've been experimenting by using less butter, adding tea leaves, etc. Finally I came up with this recipe.

By doing so, it improves the aroma and texture. If you want to increase the tea aroma, you can add 2 tea bags and it's also delicious .Adjust the amount of sugar depending on the sweetness of the banana.You can make banana muffins without the tea leaves and they are also delicious .

Macrobiotic Green Tea Chestnut Muffins Macrobiotic Green Tea Chestnut Muffins
I thought up this snack to send to my mom for Mother's Day. I referenced Kyaramerina's recipe "Spring-Colored Green Tea Soy Milk Steamed Bread" for the marble pattern technique. And I used "Macrobiotic Apple Muffins" as a base for the batter itself.I want the marron cream to be centered after the muffins are freshly baked, but it tends to sink to the bottom when baking. When you fill the batter, be sure to place the cream close to the top. Make sure to cut the chestnuts in half before adding them. They will be too heavy if you use a whole chestnut and will sink into the batter. Gently place the chestnuts on top without pressing them into the batter. They are also delicious with adzuki beans in place of the marron cream. Recipe by Meifan -

They're very soft, so they are safe to serve to the elderly members of your family too.Mix the butter and cream cheese first and then add the sugar and eggs. It will be easier to mix.If you use the suggested 10 g of matcha tea powder, the muffins will be quite intense and bitter. Try using about half that amount when making these for children.
