Chocolate Tea Bread

Although this Chocolate Tea Bread recipe is not using our new favorite Tea Infused Butter, it does soak the sugar, cardamon, raisins, ginger and orange zest in the tea overnight for a strong tea flavor. This Chocolate Tea Bread is enjoyed more like cake, sweet and satisfying. Remember to use your t-sleeve while preparing the Assam Tea to prevent the scolding of your fingers and to prepare your tea mess-free. Enjoy Paul A Young's Chocolate Tea Bread recipe, provided below.
