Lavender Tea Bread

Here is one of our favorite recipes with a lemon glaze added. Enjoy!

3/4 cup milk

3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh

lavender

6 tablespoons butter, softened

1 cup white sugar

2 eggs

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1.	Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
2.	Combine the milk and lavender in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat to a simmer, then remove from heat, and allow to cool slightly.
3.	In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg until the mixture is light and fluffy. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture alternately with the milk and lavender until just blended. Pour into the prepared pan.
4.	Bake for 50 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a wooden pick inserted into the crown of the loaf comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED © 2014 Allrecipes.comPrinted from Allrecipes.com 7/6/2014

We added a lemon glaze topping using Martha Stewart’s Recipe:

STEP 1

Place confectioners’ sugar in a medium bowl or liquid measuring cup; stir in lemon juice (glaze should be thick, yet pourable). Add more sugar or lemon juice, as necessary, to achieve desired consistency.
