The Standard Spiced Pear Cup

teas.co.uk · 7 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 1 Teapigs Spiced Pear tea temple
• 250ml water at a full rolling boil
• 1 thin slice of pear or apple, optional
• 1 teaspoon honey, optional

Method

1. Boil fresh water to a rolling boil; pear and spice pieces need 100C to release their warmth and colour.
2. Put the temple in the mug with the pear or apple slice if using, and pour the boiling water over.
3. Cover and steep 6 minutes; fruit and spice cannot over brew, and a long covered steep is what makes the pear actually come through rather than tasting like spiced water.
4. Lift the bag out; the fruit slice can stay for a little more body.
5. Taste before adding honey, the pear and spice often carry enough sweetness on their own.
