Chai Tea Spiced Pumpkin Bread

A warm and delicious bread that will get you through the fall season. This bread is rich, moist, and has the perfect crispy top. 

A few recipe tips: Most recipes may call for water in the recipe, in this case all you need to do is replace the water with Walters Bay Chai Tea. This will add the perfect amount of spice to this delicious bread. Instead of butter use oil, this helps keep the bread moist. Lastly, this recipe only calls for half a can of Pumpkin so you can double the recipe with one can and make two loaves if you want!
