Found this one on the cupcake diary 

Green Tea & Pomegranate Potion #9


Makes 4 dozen mini cupcakes

Green tea & Pomegranate Cupcake:
  • 1 cup POM Wonderful Juice
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 large egg, room temperature + 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons green tea matcha powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ cup POM Wonderful Arils to top cupcakes

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350* F. Line mini cupcake tins with red foil liners. Whisk together flour, baking powder, matcha powder and salt.


2. Combine sugar and POM Wonderful juice into a jar or bottle and shake well. With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter until pale and fluffy. Add egg plus egg yolk and mix until well combined.


3. Pour in 1/3 of the flour mixture alternating with the POM Wonderful Juice mixture, 1/3 at a time until well combined. Divide the batter among the liners, filling each about ¾ full.


4. Bake until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. About 10 minutes.


Green Tea Cream Cheese Frosting:
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 3 tablespoons green tea matcha powder

1. With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter and cream cheese until fluffy. Reduce speed to low, add powdered sugar and matcha powder and beat until smooth.

Pomegranate Potion #9:
  • 2 oz. Vodka
  • 6 oz. POM Wonderful Juice
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 3 slices of orange rind

1. Place orange rinds, POM Wonderful Juice and sugar into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer for about 20 minutes.


2. Remove the orange rinds, pour POM Wonderful Juice mixture into a glass and let cool. Mixture will form a thick syrup when cooled.

To Finish:
1. Frost a swirl of Green Tea Cream Cheese Frosting on top of mini cupcake. Pour Pomegranate Poition #9 syrup into a piping bag. Cut the tip and drizzle in the form of a zig zag on top of mini cupcakes. Sprinkle fresh POM Wonderful Arils on top and enjoy!
