How to make winter fruit
Place the water in a big pot and add the fruit to it.
Add the honey to the fruit.
Add the vanilla seeds and the empty pod to the fruit.
Bring the water to the boil, let the fruit simmer for 15 minutes.
When the water is syrupy turn off the heat.
Squeeze the lemon, put the juice aside.
Hang the tea-bag in the pan.
Leave the teabag for 10 minutes to infuse the syrup, the smoky Earl Grey scent and flavour will blend with the fruit. Then remove tea-bag and vanilla pod, pour in the lemon juice and stir.
Spoon fruit with syrup into bowls, cool it in the fridge.
Serve the dessert with a generous scoop of Greek yogurt.
Enjoy!
