ALASKAN BLUEBERRY LEMON TEA BREAD
When I lived in Alaska, during blueberry season it was fun to climb the mountains and pick blueberries. The one hazard was that the bears were doing the same thing so it was a race to see who got the most berries during the season. The joke is that if you saw a large pile of blueberries on the trail, turn around and go away because it means bears are in the area. Bears don't digest blueberries very well so they come out whole alot of the time.

Steps:
- 1. Cream butter and sugar. Add Lemon rind and mix. Add beaten eggs and mix again. Sift flour and baking powder and add to butter and eggs, alternatly with milk. Bake in 9x5x3 greased pan at 375 degrees for 35 minutes. Syrup = Combine juice and sugar and pour over top of bread right out of the oven. Cool 10 minutes. 1/2 c of walnuts can be added to batter if desired.
Tips:
- Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemons provide the best flavor and aroma to your tea bread. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
- Zest the lemons before juicing them: This will help release the essential oils from the lemon peel, which will give your tea bread a more intense lemon flavor.
- 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 will ensure that the tea bread is cooked through.
- Let the tea bread cool completely before slicing and serving: This will help the bread to set and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Lemon tea bread is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving it for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, this bread is sure to be a hit. With its moist texture, tangy lemon flavor, and sweet glaze, lemon tea bread is a classic recipe that everyone will love.
