For dessert, Minoo prepared a Raisin Tea Muffin recipe. Muffin is great for breakfast, lunch box, after school snack or tea time. It is easy to make, easy to transport and quick to bake. All you have to remember is to combine all the dry ingredients in one bowl, the wet ingredients in another bowl and combine them without over mixing. Over mixing will yield tough muffin.
This Raisin Tea Muffin has just the right sweetness and has a mild tea flavour with hint of spices. Perfect with a cup of chai tea.

- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder

This recipe yields 6 muffins.

wonderful idea of using tea bags for bake goods!
i’m gonna try to make this. does any kind of tea do the trick?
Hi lululu, you can use any kind of tea, but black tea will impart a darker color to the muffin.
I see a lime in the pic…can that sub for the lemon juice? Very interesting recipe..will definitely try it soon!
Hi Chris, yes, you can substitute lime juice for the lemon juice.
