  1. Press mint leaves in a glass cup using a wooden spoon. The process is known as muddling and is required to get the most out of the plant’s aroma by releasing the essential oils it contains.

  3. As soon as the mixture starts boiling, take the pot away from fire and cover it with the lid. Put the pot aside for about 30 minutes. Keep in mind that the buttermilk will curdle, which is quite ok.

  7. Add the eggs and keep mixing the mass. Take 2 limes, wash them well and grate the zest. Cut one lime into halves and squeeze the juice of half of the lime. Add 2 tablespoons of rum and vanilla essence. Mix the ingredients.

  13. Now, let’s cook the topping for the cupcakes. With this purpose, mix cream cheese, zest, powdered sugar and lime juice. If you wish, you can add several drops of green food coloring to give the cream light green color. Decorate the cupcakes with the cream and grated lime zest and serve! Bon appétit!
