Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a tart and juicy flavor that is perfect for tea bread. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries. Just thaw them before using.
  • Grate the lemon zest. The lemon zest adds a bright and citrusy flavor to the tea bread. Be sure to use a microplane or fine grater to get the most zest out of the lemon.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the tea bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the tea bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 45-50 minutes.
