Not only are these muffins great WITH a cup of tea, they also have tea IN them! The better quality masala tea you use, the more flavourful they will be.
The sweet spices (cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, to name a few) along with the sugar crunch top perfectly compliment the tartness from the rhubarb to deliver a well rounded flavor that will go great not just with tea, but coffee, milk, espresso, whiskey, beer…whatever your pleasure…well..maybe not beer!
