Earl Grey Tea Quick Bread

Created by NELady on August 12, 2023

Step 1: Place the two Earl Grey tea bags in a heatproof bowl.
Step 2: Pour the boiling water over the tea bags.
Step 3: Allow the tea to steep for about 5-7 minutes, then remove the tea bags. Let the tea cool to room temperature.
Step 4: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan.
Step 5: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 6: In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs.
Step 7: Add the vegetable oil or melted butter, plain yogurt or buttermilk, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the beaten eggs. Mix well.
Step 8: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
Step 9: Gradually pour in the cooled Earl Grey tea infusion, folding it into the batter until evenly incorporated.
Step 10: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Step 11: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 12: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 13: For the glaze, in a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, and 1-2 teaspoons of brewed Earl Grey tea until you achieve a smooth glaze consistency.
Step 14: Once the bread is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.
