  2. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the tea bag. Leave to infuse for 10 minutes.
  3. Discard the tea bag and vanilla pod, tip the fruits and liquid into a non-metallic bowl and pour over the lemon juice. Stir, then leave to cool. Cover and chill until ready to serve.

    Worked wonderfully following a vegetarian Sunday roast as a dessert! I threw in a small handful of dried mango, serving warm with custard, and the flavours were so comforting. Just the thing for winter, and healthy too!
