Exact quantities, then the method.
This breakfast compote simmers apple and pear in a strong brew of Twinings Orange and Cinnamon, so the fruit soaks up warm orange and cinnamon as it softens. Spoon it over yoghurt, porridge or granola, warm on a cold morning or chilled in summer.

You'll need
- 3 tea bags of Twinings Orange and Cinnamon
- 200ml freshly boiled water (100C)
- 2 apples and 2 pears, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons honey, or to taste
- A strip of orange peel
- Yoghurt, porridge or granola, to serve
Method
- Brew the 3 tea bags in the just boiled water for 5 minutes to make it strong, then lift them out.
- Put the apple, pear and honey in a pan, pour over the spiced tea and add the orange peel.
- Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 to 12 minutes until the fruit is soft and the liquid is syrupy.
- Remove the orange peel and take off the heat. Leave to cool a little.
- Spoon warm or chilled over yoghurt, porridge or granola.
- Pears soften faster than apple; add them for the last 8 minutes, not the full 12, so both fruits keep some texture.
