Equipment

  • 1 loaf pan

Ingredients
  

  • 3 black tea bags
  • 1 cup mixed dried fruit cranberries, raisins, sultanas
  • cup whole milk
  • 2 eggs
  • cup unsweetened yoghurt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 tsp allspice

Extra

  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Boil some water. In a large bowl, drop your tea bags, add in the boiled water and let it sit for 2 minutes before taking out the tea bags and pouring in the dried fruit. Keep overnight in your refrigerator.
  • Preheat your oven to 325℉.
  • In a mixing bowl, start off with the milk and 2 eggs, whisk until well combined.
  • Add in the unsweetened yoghurt, vanilla extract, melted butter, mix until combined.
  • Go in with the flour and allspice, mix before adding in the soaked fruit. If the dried fruit did not soak up all the tea, you can add in about 2-3 tbsp of it into the mixture.
  • Pour in the batter into your lined loaf pan or dish, transfer and let it bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
  • It is ready when an inserted skewer in the middle of the loaf comes out dry.
  • Coat with melted butter and let it sit to cool before cutting in.
