Gluten, dairy, nut & virtually fat free Tea Loaf
This recipe uses gluten free flour no dairy (unless you count eggs) and is free from nuts and is virtually fat free.

- Finely grated zest of an orange
- 100g soft brown sugar
- 2 tbsp sunflower oil
- Steep the fruit in the hot tea overnight or at least for two hours.
- Preheat oven to 160ºC. Prepare a loaf tin by buttering the inside and lining the bottom with baking parchment.
- Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl then add the remaining ingredients.
- Stir the mixture until just combined then pour into the loaf tin.
- Bake for 1 hour.
- Allow tin to cool for 10 minutes before turning loaf out onto a cooling rack.
- Serve still warm with lashings of real butter!
