Chocolate Lady Earl Grey Cupcakes with Hazelnut Chocolate Ganache

A new combination of flavours. I've recently discovered Lady Earl Grey Tea. It has the most heady floral scent, a great pairing I thought with chocolate. I also wanted to add another dimension to the mix and decided Hazelnut would be interesting. You can definitely taste the earl grey through the chocolate in subtle tones which I prefer and the hazelnut ganache, a surprisingly lovely accompaniment. I don't think it's one for the kiddies as rich on all levels , but a winner for any dinner party.
