Digestion Blend Poached Pears
Pears poached in the digestion blend with honey and a cinnamon stick — a light, soothing after-dinner dessert that turns the settling tea into a gentle sweet.
Poached pears are the ideal dessert for the digestion blend — light, fragrant, and naturally settling. Simmering the fruit in the mint-fennel-ginger-chamomile infusion lets it drink up all those soothing aromatics, so the dessert tastes like a gentle continuation of the after-dinner cup.
Brew the blend strong, sweeten lightly with honey, and add a cinnamon stick for warmth. The fennel and chamomile lend a soft, floral sweetness that suits pears beautifully, while the ginger keeps the poaching syrup from feeling flat.
Poach the pears slowly until tender and glossy, turning them so they color evenly in the fragrant liquid. Then reduce the poaching liquid into a light syrup to spoon over the top — nothing wasted, all that herbal flavor concentrated.
Serve warm or chilled, on their own or with a small spoon of yogurt or crème fraîche. It's a featherlight way to end a meal, and it keeps the soothing, digestion-friendly spirit of the blend right through to dessert.
