CHAI-SPICED BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Spray the bottom of a 9" loaf pan with cooking spray (I use Pam).
• Combine the sugar and butter in a large bowl.
• With a mixer, beat on medium speed until fluffy.
• Add in eggs, tea, milk and vanilla.
• Reduce speed on the mixer to low and mix the ingredients well (the mixture will appear to be curdled).
• Add in the remaining bread ingredients.
• Mix just until moistened and spread in the loaf pan.
• Bake 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Cool 10 minutes on a wire rack before removing from the pan.
• Cool 30 minutes before glazing.
• To prepare the glaze, combine the powdered sugar, vanilla and 3 t milk in a small bowl.
• Add additional milk in small amounts until the glaze is spreadable.
• Spread the glaze on the bread and sprinkle with cinnamon.
• Cool for 2 hours before slicing the bread.
• This may be stored at room temperature tightly wrapped for 4 days.
• This may be refrigerated for up to 10 days.
