Tea not only tastes good and has various documented health benefits, it also warms your mood and facilitates connection by shared conversation and gathering.

On top of that, tea is the second most consumed beverage in the U.S. besides water, with 82% of Americans drinking tea. A surprising and refreshing fact that it’s not other sugar-based drinks that top the list.

    I just made this bread & it is delish! I made a couple adjustments – used whole wheat pastry flour, cut sugar to 3/4 cup and vanilla instead of almond extract. The bread color was a little darker from the flour & part coconut sugar, but rose perfectly and needed no embellishment (butter, etc). Great recipe!

  2. I have a question. It says 2 bags of tea, is that 2 cups or tea or how much of tea in the batter because I don’t see a measurement. Sorry if it is a silly question. Thank you.

    1. Hi Dee. The recipe instructions had the info about brewing bags in 1/2 cup boiling water. Good question and I added it to the ingredient list to be clear. Thanks!

  3. I’m wondering if I can make this gluten free? I’m gonna give it a try very soon, it looks great! Love poppy seeds. Thanks for sharing.

    1. Hi Dee. I assume you could but haven’t tested it out. Breakfast breads are pretty forgiving so it should work fine with a GF alternative.

      1. Hi Matthew, thank you. I will post a picture as soon as I make it. Also, I asked another question but it didn’t post? It says 2 tea bags but there is no measurement. When mixing, how much tea do I add? a cup, two? Thanks again 🙂

    Poppy Seeds are very common in cakes here in Israel. I bet we would love the twist in bread too! Your lemon flavor sounds perfect with poppy seeds. Pinning for later – Thanks

  5. I have always loved the lemon and poppy seed combination but the addition of chamomile must take it to the next level! Can’t wait to try!
