I decided to marry two recent favourites in these cupcakes. I used rose liqueur in the cakes and macha green tea in the frosting. Ideally I’d end up with rose tea cupcakes that of course would go perfect with a cup of Rose tea, because you can never have enough of a good thing. I am quite happy with the first result. Next time I can add some more rose flavour, because it was a bit faint (I actually would have to tell you it was in there, and you would go..Oh Yeah now I taste it!…).

Darn..I thought everything was coming up roses but I am all out of Eden Rose tea and white tea with rose and water lilies (current number one with me) but top tea sellers Betjeman & Barton are all the way in The Hague. I guess I have to console myself with more cupcakes.
