Given my obsession with this green stuff, imagine my excitement when I found out that May’s RecipeReDux theme is cooking with tea! I immediately starting thinking about these green matcha cupcakes that have been on my “to make” list forever, or making a chai spiced anything. I started my search for ideas and almost immediately stumbled across this recipe from the Whole Foods website. It combines jasmine green tea and ginger – two of my favorite things! How could I not try it?
It turns out, this combo makes a delicious poaching liquid for the pears. I didn’t bother adding any sugar because pears are already deliciously sweet on their own. The result is a fragrant, slightly spiced, deliciously light dessert for any day of the week. The recipe comes together in a snap and stores nicely in the fridge, too. If you scooped a bit of ice cream on top of your pear, I would totally approve.
How do you take your tea?
