Ingredients

1/2C Butter or oil (olive, sunflower)
1C Sugar
1 Egg
1/2C Strong Chai Tea (2Tea Bags), cooled
1C Apples, chopped into small pieces
1/2C Raisins soaked in Chai Tea

1t Baking Powder
1t Mixed Spice
1t Cinnamon
1/2t Salt

Method

Boil some water and soak 2 chai spice tea bags in 1/2 cup water, also make another cup of chai tea to soak the raisins. Leave to soak/steep 15 minutes, remove tea bags, and strain the raisins. Beat butter or oil, sugar and egg in a bowl. Stir in cooled tea, then apples and raisins. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, soda, spices and nuts. Stir into batter, mixing only until moistened. Pour into a greased loaf pan. If you like, top the batter with apple slices. Bake at 180oC for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly before removing from pan. Cut into squares. Makes 1 loaf. These would make great muffins, too! Just bake for half the time.
