Ingredient List:

* 500ml (not 400ml) of 4-teabag tea
* 250g raisins
* 250g sultanas
* 300g self-raising flour
* 160g brown sugar
* 2tsp mixed spice
* 1tsp cinnamon
* 1tbsp baking powder
* 1tbsp cider vinegar

Soak the fruit in the tea (with the tea-bags) for at least 5 hours, then mix the ingredients into a thick batter. Separate and bake in two loaf tins at gas-mark 3-4 (170C) for 45-50 minutes. It usually takes a little longer in my oven. Occasionally it sinks (probably due to a slightly too thin batter), but it still tastes good. It might need tweaking over time to reduce the amount of sugar, as it's quite sweet for me.
