2 C flour 4 t baking powder 1 C brown sugar 1 C boiled tea 1 C dried fruit 1 t ginger 1/2 t cinnamon (I'm not a huge fan)
Place fruit in with the cup of boiled tea, leave for a few hours or overnight. Next day (or later on) mix all ingredients together and pour into a greased loaf tin and cook for approx 1 hr 10 mins @ 160 deg C. This not only freezes well but is STILL moist up to 5 days later (and oh so cheap to make!) Quote darlingmole (162 ) 2:01 pm, Mon 14 Feb

This recipe was given to me by a dear friend at work who is on a VERY TIGHT budget. I've just started one a few minutes ago before jumping on here and I've used a mix of normal tea and herbal tea bags. yum yum :)

Bev00 I have just made this loaf but there is no way that 1cup of tea will mix into 2cups of flour etc. I had to add at least another 1/2cup of tea into it to be able to mix it properly. I wonder whether it should only be 1 cup flour. darlingmole you would know. Its in the oven now so will see how it turns out.

This is a fat free one I was given by a sports nutritionist at my sons' school:
400g - 1000g mixed dried fruit 1 cup of black tea 1 cup of orange juice 2 cups of self raising flour
Soak the fruit in the tea and juice for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight. Add flour. Bake for 2 hours at 150c until golden brown.

This is a Jan Bilton one.I used Tasti Fruit Medley in the mix which was great as it includes peaches, apples and pear which I diced and then they swelled in the hot tea and were lovely.Currants, sultana's, cranberries and cherries work well too.
2 c mixed dried fruit 1 cup strong, hot green tea with lemon 1 Tbsp golden syrup 1 large egg, lightly beaten 1/2 c sugar (I used 1/4 and plenty sweet enough) 1 1/2 c wholemeal flour 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp ground cinnamon Preheat the oven to 170C. Lightly oil a 21cmx10x6.5 loaf pan or line with baking paper. Place the dried fruit in a bowl.Pour over the hot tea and add golden syrup.Stir and leave until cool. Stir in the egg and sugar.Add the flour, BP and cinnamon. Mix until just moistened.Pour into the prepared loaf pan.Bake 50-60 min or until a skewer comes out clean.Cool.
It's really moist too.
