2 cups dark raisins
2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
1 cup cold breakfast tea

3 eggs, beaten
3 teaspoons baking powder
Grated rind of 1 medium-sized lemon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 tablespoon honey dissolved in a little warm water, for glazing

Combine the golden and dark raisins, sugar, tea, and whiskey in a large bowl. Cover and let soak overnight or about 12 hours.Add the flour, eggs, baking powder, lemon rind, nutmeg, and allspice to the raisin mixture, blending well.Pour into a greased 9- or 10-inch round cake pan and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 80 to 90 minutes or until nicely browned or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.Remove the bread from the pan and let cool on a wire rack. Brush the cooled loaf with the warm honey mixture for a shiny glaze.
