    "content_text": "This is the bake the Cherry Bakewell brew was made for. Soak dried fruit and chopped glace cherries in a strong pot of it overnight, stir in a little almond extract, and finish with flaked almonds on top. Baked, it tastes like a slice of Bakewell tart without the pastry, and carries no added fat.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk. UK independent tea specialist, Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
