Lavender Tea Bread Recipe

July 1, 2021 by Mary & Martha Home Office

We are so excited to share this recipe today because it comes from one of YOU!

Mary & Martha Executive Consultant Anne Bakker submitted this recipe to us. The best part: it’s her daughter’s creation! We love the idea of spending time together in the kitchen creating this delicious bread as a family (a great way to spend an afternoon when avoiding the summer heat!).

It has a refreshing taste, the lavender bringing a floral touch to the senses and the honey-lemon glaze truly acting as the icing on the cake (…or bread as the case may be 🙂 ).

Thank you, Anne, for submitting Maddison’s delightful recipe!

Ingredients for Tea Bread:
  • 2 Tbsp dried lavender
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 6 Tbsp butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
Honey-Lemon Glaze Ingredients:
  • 1-2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • A few drops of vanilla
  • Zest of one small lemon
  • 1-2 Tbsp honey
  • Optional: a pinch of dried lavender for garnish
Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 325˚F. Simmer dried lavender and milk in a small saucepan, stirring frequently— remove from heat before it gets to a boil. Cool to room temperature.
  2. Beat sugar and softened butter in a large bowl until smooth. Add in eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth. Do not over-mix.
  3. In a medium size bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Alternate between adding small amounts of lavender milk and dry ingredients into the sugar mixture. Do not over-mix.
  5. Pour batter into greased loaf pan and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until toothpick in center comes out clean. Let bread cool, then top with glaze.
  6. To make glaze: in medium size bowl, pour milk over powdered sugar and mix with whisk or fork. Then mix in vanilla, lemon zest, and honey, mixing everything thoroughly.
  7. Drizzle glaze over bread and, if desired, sprinkle a pinch of dried lavender over the top. Slice and serve with a cup of tea!
