HAWAIIAN TEA BREAD
I love this bread. It's so moist and versatile. I make it for breakfast, brunch, tea parties, and even desert. I like to use a mini loaf pan and give the loaves as gifts in a gift basket along with other "Hawaiian" treats. I also use valtrompia bread tubes in different shapes and then slice. The slices look so pretty on a plate. If you use the bread tubes, be sure to fold wax paper to fit over both ends of the tubes before fitting the lids on. I learned this recipe when I used to be a consultant for Pampered Chef.

- Cream butter and sugar together. Add all other ingredients in order given. Mix until well blended.
- Place mixture in prepared pans or tubes to about 2/3 full. If using tubes, be sure to put wax paper at each end of bread tube before putting caps on. If using tubes, place vertically in the oven. Bake at 350 degrees for up to 60 minutes or until done.

Steps:
- In a sauce pan bring 1 quart of cold water to a full rolling boil. Remove from heat; pour over tea. Stir and let stand for 5 minutes.
- Stir and strain liquid into a pitcher containing 4 mint springs, sugar and 1 quart cold water. Stir to dissolve sugar. Cool mixture.
- Remove mint before chilling for several hours or overnight. Stir in Pineapple juice.
- Serve over ice in tall glasses. Garnish each glass with a pineapple wedge.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bread in a loaf pan: This will help the bread to rise evenly and prevent it from becoming too dry.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
- Serve the bread with butter, cream cheese, or your favorite spread: Hawaiian tea bread is delicious on its own, but it's even better when served with a spread.
Conclusion:
Hawaiian tea bread is a delicious and easy-to-make quick bread that is perfect for any occasion. It's moist, flavorful, and has a slightly sweet taste. Whether you're serving it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Hawaiian tea bread is sure to be a hit.
