How to Make Honey Tea Bread

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup raisins and 1/2 cup dried cherries.
  2. Pour 1 cup of warm, strongly brewed black tea over the fruit. Stir in 1/2 cup of honey. Mix well.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the mixture stand for 1 1/2 to 2 hours to allow the fruit to plump.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  5. Gently stir 2 large eggs into the soaked raisin and cherry mixture.
  6. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 40 minutes.
  10. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
