Description

Ingredients

• 2 chai tea bags
• 1 1/2 cups boiling water
• 1/3 cup honey
• 2 ripe but firm Bosc pears, peeled and cored from the bottom
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

• Place the chai tea bags into a 3-quart pan and pour the boiling water over the top. Let the bags steep for 8-10 minutes. Remove the tea bags, squeezing them to release as much liquid as possible. Stir in the honey. Add the pears and add enough water to barely cover, then bring to a simmer. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the pears are tender. Remove the pears with slotted spoon and set aside.
• Bring the poaching liquid to a rolling boil. Let boil until syrupy, about 20-30 minutes.
• To make the whipped cream, pour the heavy cream in a mixing bowl and add the sugar and cinnamon. Beat with a whisk or hand mixer until soft peaks form.
• Place pears in a shallow dish or bowl. Spoon some of the warm poaching syrup over the pears and add a spoonful of cinnamon whipped cream on the side. Serve immediately.
