Ingredients
300 ml Earl Grey Tea, brewed
100 g raisins
100 g sultanas
100 g candied peel
oil to grease tin
1 egg, beaten
50 g brown sugar
150 g plain whole meal flour
1 tsp baking powder
Directions:
In a large bowl, mix the tea, raisins, sultanas and citrus peel. Leave
to soak overnight.
Preheat oven to 180 °C (gas 4). Lightly grease
a 500 g loaf tin.
Stir in the egg and sugar into the tea and
fruit mixture. Sift in the flour and baking powder. Stir in the bran left in
the sieve, except for 2 tbsp, and mix well.
Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and
bake for 1 hour, or until the edges of the bread come away from the sides of
the tin and the loaf feels firm to the touch.
Cool the tea bread for a few min in the tin
and then invert it on a wire rack. Cut into slices and serve.
