BARM BRACK (IRISH WHISKEY TEA LOAF)



Barm Brack (Irish Whiskey Tea Loaf) image

Traditional Irish tea bread served around Halloween once used to foretell marriage by baking a ring in the loaf and waiting for someone to get it. Whoever gets it is supposed to be the next to marry. I only make it once a year around Halloween and I have family members that ask for a second mini loaf to freeze for later in the year. Never gave the recipe out until now. I like it with coffee or tea in the morning very sweet and heavy.

Time P1DT2h

Yield 3-5 Loafs

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pints strong brewed tea (or half strong tea and half irish wiskey I prefer the half and half method)
1 lb golden raisin
1 lb black raisins
1 lb brown sugar
1 lb all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
3 eggs
6 tablespoons honey, melted (I use huckleberry honey for mine)

Steps:

  • First soak the raisins and sugar in the tea (or tea and whiskey) overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Add Flour, baking powder, and eggs to the tea mixture.
  • Spoon the dough into a greased loaf pans. You should be able to fill 3 loaf pans, 8x4 inches (20x10 cm). (I prefer to make them in ready to give away little loaf pans which makes about five per batch).
  • Place loaf pans in the oven and bake for 1 hour and 45minutes.
  • Leave Bram Brack to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack and glaze the top with the melted honey. ( If you go with the small give away kind let cool then leave in tin drizzle honey on the top and cover with a little room on top and then give them away when ready.).

BLACK TEA AND WHISKEY COOLER



Black Tea and Whiskey Cooler image

Florida A&M, or FAMU, the historically Black college and university founded in 1887 in Tallahassee, canceled its homecoming celebrations for 2020 because of the Covid-19 pandemic. This whiskey cooler from Shameeka Ayers, an alumna, is Florida sunshine beamed into a glass. The orange and green are inspired by FAMU's colors; Ms. Ayers calls the drink the Three Strike, inspired by the school's "Strike, Strike and Strike Again" chant. The black tea adds depth and is refreshing year-round. The Uncle Nearest whiskey honors Nathan "Nearest" Green, the enslaved African who taught Jack Daniels how to distill.

Time 15m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 black tea bags or 1 tablespoon loose black tea
4 large mint leaves, plus extra mint sprigs to garnish
Ice, as needed
4 ounces small-batch whiskey, such as Uncle Nearest 1884
4 ounces peach nectar (or mango nectar)
1 ounce orange liqueur
1/2 ounce pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Prepare the tea: Place a kettle over high and bring 2 1/2 cups water to a boil. Remove from heat and transfer 2 cups water to a heatproof vessel.
  • Add the tea and let steep for 10 minutes. Let the hot tea cool to room temperature. (This yields 2 cups of tea, so you will have some left over; save it for unsweetened iced tea or additional cocktails.)
  • Use a muddler to slightly pound the mint leaves in a cocktail shaker. You'll smell the fragrance as the oils release.
  • Fill the shaker halfway with ice, then add the whiskey, peach nectar, orange liqueur, vanilla extract and 6 ounces of the prepared tea. Shake for 30 seconds. Strain each serving into a highball glass halfway filled with ice and garnish with a mint sprig.
