Heat the milk in a sauce pan for about a minute. Once milk is warm, pour over earl grey tea and let steep for 10 minutes.

In a large bowl, mix together the rice flour, baking powder, and earl grey tea powder. Set aside.

Pour the wet ingredients into the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to combine until you get a thick dough.

Spoon the dough into a pastry bag or use a ziploc bag to pipe the dough into a donut pan. I used a donut pan with donut molds that are 3 inches in diameter.

Grease the donut pan. Pipe your batter into the donut molds.

Bake for about 7-9 minutes.
