Did you make that bara brith?
Yes, I did.- I really fancy making some, but I've… I've never tried.
- Oh it's easy, it is!
- First you have to make sure you've got all your ingredients.
- Yep.
- Dried fruit, sugar, flour, eggs, mixed spices - is that it?
- More or less,
- but you are missing the most important ingredient!
- What's that?
- Cold tea!
- Cold tea!?
- You're having me on.
- No, honestly. You soak the fruit and sugar in the… in the cold tea overnight.
- It makes the fruit plump up, you see.
- And the cake will taste much better if you do it like that.
- Well, I do wanna be authentic, like.
- And then what?
- Well, the next day, stir in the egg first,
- um, then you add the flour and the spice,
- and you bake it for about an hour at 180 degrees.
- Got it. I'll get started.
- It's a pity it takes so long though.
- I'd love to have some now.
- Well, you can have some of mine in the meantime.
- Aww… lovely, diolch!
