It’s International Tea Day and what better way to celebrate than with this Ginger and Spice Tea Loaf is made with rich Yorkshire Tea and is designed to be served with a proper brew. This loaf is perfect for when you have guest arriving or let’s face it, just to enjoy yourself!
Line a 28 x 8 x7.5cm high loaf tin on the base and sides. Add 2 cups of the Yorkshire Tea in a saucepan with the ginger and dried fruit and bring to the boil. Simmer for 20 minutes until the tea mostly evaporates and the fruit plumps up. Add the bicarbonate of soda and mix and cools for 10 minutes.
Preheat oven to 180C (350C). Whisk the flour, brown sugar, mixed spice, cinnamon, and ginger together until there are no lumps of brown sugar.
Add the whisked eggs and fruit as well as the liquid and extra cup of Yorkshire Tea. Mix until just combined and the flour is mixed in but do not overmix. Scoop into the tin and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the centre springs back when touched. Enjoy and serve with delicious butter.
