Method
Step 1 of 3
Preheat oven to 170°C. Line a 12-hole medium muffin tray with paper cases. Place tea bags in a jug (see note) and pour over 1 cup boiling water. Set aside for 5 minutes.
Step 2 of 3
Place butter, sugar, fruit and spices in a medium saucepan. Remove tea bags, squeeze out and discard. Add tea to pan and bring to boil. Reduce heat to simmer for 5 minutes until fruit is soft and butter has melted. Remove from heat. Stir in bicarbonate of soda. Cool for 10 minutes.
Step 3 of 3
Gradually stir in egg. Sift flours together and stir into fruit mixture. Divide mixture evenly between muffin cases. Press almonds on to each muffin. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer. Transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool. Dust with icing sugar to serve.
