How to Make Alaskan Blueberry Lemon Tea Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the lemon zest and vanilla extract.
  5. In a small bowl, combine brewed cooled tea, buttermilk, and lemon juice.
  6. 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.
  7. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  8. 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.
  9. 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!
