How To Make pears poached in lapsang tea and ginger
-
1Brew the tea bags in 1 litre (1¾ pints) of boiling water. Strain, discarding the tea bags, and pour into a saucepan large enough to take the pear halves in a single layer. Add the sugar, citrus juices, rind and ginger.
-
2Slowly bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar, then turn down the heat, add the pears and simmer until tender – push the point of a small sharp knife into the flesh to check.
-
3Lift out the pears with a slotted spoon and set them somewhere in a single layer. Leave to cool.
-
4Boil the poaching liquid and reduce to about 275ml (8fl oz). Leave to cool, then strain. Pour over the pears and chill well before serving.
