Ingredients for Alaskan Blueberry Lemon Tea Bread

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

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
