Mrs Halpin’s Tea Brack | Eating for Ireland

Name: Mrs Halpin’s Tea Brack | Eating for Ireland
Ingredients: 450g sultanas or mixed fruit – I used mostly sultanas, a few currants, and some cranberries.; 200ml of hot tea – ‘strained’, because proper people didn’t use teabags, back in the day; 125g of light Muscavado sugar; 2 large eggs, lightly beaten; 450g Self-raising flour; 1/2 teaspoon Almond extract (I used Vanilla); 1 teaspoon of mixed spice – I put in some ginger and cinnamon for a change (Ok, truth – I couldn’t find the mixed spice, but the ginger and cinnamon is a good addition); 1/2 a level teaspoon of baking powder; Buttermilk or whole milk – about 2 tablespoons (optional)
