Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 8 tea bags Bigelow(R) Pumpkin Spice
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1 stick, at room temperature
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Method

  • Combine milk and tea bags in a small saucepan. Heat over medium/low heat until bubbles form around the edge, stirring occasionally (DO NOT BOIL). Remove from heat and let cool (15-20 minutes): remove tea bags, squeezing out liquid. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 325° F. Grease 9" x 4" loaf pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together sugar and butter. Add eggs and mix until smooth. Alternate adding tea-infused milk and flour mixture, stir after each addition.
  • If you choose, add raisins and stir to combine.
  • Pour batter into loaf pan. Bake 45-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack before removing from pan.
