Line a 500g (1lb) loaf tin with baking parchment. Pre heat the oven to 170°C, 150°C fan, gas 4.
Pour the cold tea over the raisins and mix well. Weigh the self raising flour, then weigh the malt extract on top.
Add the treacle then stir it all into the tea and raisins with the bicarbonate of soda.
Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 35 mins until risen and it feels firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and cool for 15 mins before removing from the tin to cool completely. It may sink a little in the centre, but should be cooked and nicely chewy.
