1. Place the dried fruits into a bowl and pour over the Earl Grey tea. Mix well and leave to soak for 10 minutes.

2. Sift the flour into a large bowl.

3. Place the milk, sugar, butter and eggs into a separate bowl and whisk well to combine. Add the spices and vanilla extract, then add the yeast and whisk once more then pour onto the flour. Mix well to form a soft dough.

4. Strain the fruits, discarding the tea then add to the dough and knead for 3-5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

5. Place into a clean bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave to rise until doubled in size – about 1-2 hours.

6. Remove from the bowl and knead lightly to knock out the air. Place into a large loaf tin and leave to rise for another hour.

7. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5.

8. Place the tin into the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes until golden and risen.

9. Allow to cool before slicing.

For afternoon hors d’oeuvres, pair a crisp Chenin Blanc or bubbly with a zesty goat’s milk cheese.

Sunset calls for a rich, wooded Chardonnay and a luscious wheel of Camembert.

6–9pm

At dinner, reach for a matured Cabernet Sauvignon and pair it with an extra-matured Cheddar.

And for and after-dinner treat, pour a delicious glass of Port and partner it with a blue cheese of choice, be it Stilton, Roquefort or Gorgonzola.
