Ingredients (Makes 1 loaf)

• 1 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
Yuzu Glaze
• 1 cup powdered sugar

4. Add the Oolong Chai concentrate and yuzu zest (or juice) and mix until smooth and fragrant.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
6. Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients just until combined. Do not overmix.
7. Pour batter into loaf pan and smooth the top.
8. Bake 45–55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool completely before glazing or slicing.
Yuzu Glaze
1. Whisk powdered sugar with yuzu juice until smooth and pourable.
2. Drizzle over cooled loaf and let set before slicing.
Tip
For a glossy bakery finish, brush the warm loaf lightly with Oolong Chai concentrate mixed with a little yuzu juice and honey before glazing.
