Method

1. Add the fruit and sugar to a bowl, cover with the tea and leave to soak overnight. The tea should just about cover all the fruit
2. When you are ready to bake, heat your oven to 150^oC (300^oF) or gas mark 2 and prepare and line a 1lb loaf tin
3. Add the egg and flour to the fruit and mix. If the mixture is a little dry, add a little more tea until the consistency is that of a fruit cake mix
4. Pour into the prepared tin and transfer to the oven
5. Bake for 1 hour, checking the cake is cooked before removing from the oven
