Chai Tea Loaf

2 cups brewed and cooled Chai Tea (as recipe on jar, no sugar)
1 cup raisins
2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
21/2 tsp VE Baking powder
1 tsp VE Cinnamon
1/2 tsp VE Poudre Douce
1/8 tsp VE Black Pepper
1 tsp VE Sea Salt
1/2 cup butter (room temp)
1/2 cup icing sugar

1. Soak raisins in Chai Tea. Set aside 1/2 hour.
2. Preheat over 350.
3. Sift remaining dry ingredients, except for icing sugar. (As there are no eggs in this recipe sifting is important to aerate ingredients.)
4. Cut butter into flour mixture until it is a coarse meal consistency.
5. Add soaked raisins including the Chai Tea but reserve 1 Tbsp of Chai Tea for glaze.
6. Mix just until blended. Pour into a greased loaf pan.
7. Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes. When done turn loaf out on to cooling rack and let cool.
8. Once cool poke holes into top with skewer. Mix icing sugar with just enough Chai Tea for a glaze consistency. Brush glaze over top of loaf.

Note: Can make loaf in bundt pan but will require more glaze.
