Step 3Poach Pears
Add the pears to the poaching liquid, and cook over low heat until the pears are just cooked through, and have taken on the color and flavor of the tea.
This should take 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of pears and the heat you use. Turn the pot off, and let the pears cool in the poaching liquid. They'll absorb even more tasty flavors.
You can store them this way overnight in the refrigerator, and put the pie together the next day.
Optional: cut a piece of parchment or waxed paper to cover the surface of the pot. This will keep your pears submerged, and make sure all areas are properly infused with the tea mixture. This is a hold-over from poaching pears for direct presentation, intended to prevent uneven coloring and flavor uptake. In this case, just stirring periodically to relocate the pears should be sufficient.
