In medium saucepan over medium-low heat, simmer milk and loose-leaf tea. Remove from heat and steep for 10 minutes. Drain milk through fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into large mixing bowl – this should amount to 1 cup of liquid (if it doesn’t add milk until it reaches 1 cup). Set aside to cool slightly.

In large mixing bowl, whisk flour, xanthan gum, coconut sugar, salt, baking powder and cinnamon; incorporate evenly.

In mixing bowl with steeped milk, add melted butter, eggs and vanilla. Whisk well until smooth, ribbon-like consistency forms.

Place 1/4 cup muffin batter into each muffin well. Bake for 24-27 minutes or until muffins are golden, firm to touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let muffins cool for 5 minutes on cooling rack in muffin tin. Then, remove muffins and cool directly on rack the remainder off the way. While cooling, prepare glaze.
-
In medium bowl, combine glaze ingredients and whisk well until smooth. When ready, dip the tops of the muffins into glaze. Tip: Glaze just before serving for best results.
