Pomegranate Pear Quiet Hour

Pomegranate and pear make a warm fruit drink with a tart, slightly drying base and a quieter sweetness from the sliced fruit. Ripe pear helps that softer flavor remain noticeable. Let thin slices stand in the warm juice-and-water mixture for a few minutes before adjusting. This is more subtle than adding another strong juice. The pear’s role is to add a little softness around the pomegranate, not make the whole cup taste like pear nectar.

Ingredients

• 6 oz Hot water
• 2 oz Pomegranate juice
• 1/4 cup Pear slices

Make it

1. Add the tea or fruit and spices to a heatproof mug or small saucepan.
2. Pour in the hot water. Steep tea for the time on its packet, or gently simmer fruit for 3–5 minutes.
3. Remove tea bags. Strain if you prefer, add any optional sweetener, and sip while comfortably warm.
