1. Set the oven at 180 degrees Celsius.
2. Heat up the milk until hot (not boiling), and add the teabags or the tea and leave to infuse for 10-15 minutes (if using loose tea, remove the leaves with a strainer once infused).

7. Finally, mix in the poppyseeds.
8. Cook in the middle of the oven for about 45 minutes to an hour, or until the cake is cooked throughout (insert a skewer and if it comes out clean the cake is ready!).
9.Dust with icing sugar once the cake has cooled.
