- With a mixer, beat on medium speed until fluffy.
- Add in eggs, tea, milk and vanilla.
- Reduce speed on the mixer to low and mix the ingredients well (the mixture will appear to be curdled).
- Add in the remaining bread ingredients.
- Mix just until moistened and spread in the loaf pan.
- Bake 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool 10 minutes on a wire rack before removing from the pan.
- Cool 30 minutes before glazing.
- To prepare the glaze, combine the powdered sugar, vanilla and 3 t milk in a small bowl.
- Add additional milk in small amounts until the glaze is spreadable.
- Spread the glaze on the bread and sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Cool for 2 hours before slicing the bread.
