Instructions
Brew the tea, it needs to be quite strong, in a heat resistant bowl. Allow to brew for 4-5 minutes, remove the tea bags and add the fruit. Allow to soak for at least 2 hours, but the longer the better, preferably overnight.
Preheat oven to Gas Mark 4, 180°C, 350°F. Grease and line a 2lb, 900g loaf tin.
In a bowl mix the sugar, egg and the spice. Add to the fruit mixture (without draining). Mix in the flour. Pour or spoon into tin and bake for 1½ hours or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Allow to cool in tin for several minutes and the turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
