Equipment

  • loaf pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • stand or hand mixer

Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup chai concentrate
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt Diamond Crystal
  • 2 cups flour

Instructions

  • If using a metal loaf pan, line with foil. If using a glass loaf pan, no preparation is needed.
  • Preheat oven to 375° F.
  • Beat butter and sugar until fluffy.
  • Add eggs and mix till combined
  • Add tea and mix till combined.
  • Add baking soda, baking powder, and salt and mix in.
  • Add flour and mix until just combined.
  • Pour batter into loaf pan and bake for 1 hour.
  • Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then remove from pan and cool for at least 10 minutes more.
  • Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Once the flour is mostly mixed in, switch from your mixer to a spatula to hand mix in the final streaks. Stop mixing as soon as the flour is incorporated to prevent over-mixing.
The outside of this bread will brown fairly quickly, but it will not burn. Be sure to bake for the entire hour to avoid raw batter in your loaf.
The suggested cool time is a minimum suggestion, and the bread can be cooled completely before slicing.
