    "content_text": "A spiced pear cordial is a lovely thing to have in the fridge come autumn: a clear amber syrup of pear and gentle spice that becomes an instant warm cup, a fizzy pear soda, or the base for a pear gin cocktail. It lives on real pear flavour, so brew it long and hot to draw the fruit out fully.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk. UK independent tea specialist, Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
