Green Tea and Frosted Lemon Madeleines

Instructions

1. In a small pot, heat the milk with the butter until melted. Off the heat, add the tea bags. Cover and let steep for 10 minutes. Remove the tea bags, squeezing them gently. Let cool.
2. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt.
3. In another bowl, whisk the egg, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer until the mixture is pale and doubled in volume, about 5 minutes. With the machine running on low speed, whisk in the dry ingredients alternating with the cooled milk mixture until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
4. With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Generously butter and flour two 12-cavity madeleine moulds (see note).
