HAWAIIAN TEA BREAD



Hawaiian Tea Bread image

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.

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 quarts cold water
15 orange pekoe tea bags
fresh mint sprig
1/3 cup sugar
3 lemons, juice of
1/3 cup pineapple juice
pineapple, spears (to garnish) (optional)

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.

  • 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.

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.
