How to Make Alaskan Blueberry Lemon Tea Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the lemon zest and vanilla extract.
- In a small bowl, combine brewed cooled tea, buttermilk, and lemon juice.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the tea mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
