    Hi,

    I wish to make barmbrack for a family of 5 people in Germany. However looking at some recipes online & from an old cookbook, I find myself a little confused about some of the recommended ingredients that are best to use.

    Some mention whiskey (as shown in Donal Skehan's recipe), stout, tepid milk, mixed peel or only sultanas+raisins, some mention currants, treacle, creamed yeast (sugar+flour+yeast) lemon+orange zest.

    I find the ingredients list for mixed spice to vary in different recipes online, I may have to make my own blend. I'm not sure if I will find an appopriate jar of mixed spice in Germany.

    What would be the best list of ingredients to choose to make barmbrack, and also ingredients for the mixed spice?
