CRANBERRY BANANA TEA LOAF
This delicious and moist banana bread will make a wonderful gift at the holidays ... if you don't eat it all first. This bread is not overly sweet. We loved the cranberry/banana combination. The tart cranberries add a pop of flavor you don't always get with banana bread. Plus, your kitchen smells wonderful while this bakes.

- 3. Bake in a prepared loaf pan for 1 hour. Don't overbake.

BANANA COCONUT TEA BREAD
I found this recipe in my old Sunset Cook Book of Breads, Twelfth Printing 1973. Toasted coconut enhances this easy-to-make banana tea bread. The flavors really intensify after 3 to 4 days of mellowing. Keep it tightly wrapped to preserve its moisture content. I usually double this recipe to compensate for the wait. Enjoy!

- Serve hot or cold: Banana tea can be served hot or cold. If you're serving it cold, be sure to chill it for at least 2 hours before serving.
