Chai-Spiced Fruit Compote



What you need,

1¾ cups water
2 chai tea bags (I used TAZO)
3 tbsp. honey
½ cup dried apricots, chopped into quarters
½ cup dried pitted prunes, chopped into quarters
½ cup golden raisins
1/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted
Plain Greek yogurt for serving

In a medium saucepan bring water to a boil over high heat. Turn off the heat and add the tea bags. Let it steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and discard.

Add the honey and chopped dried fruit to the tea. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce heat to medium low and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Liquid will thicken and become syrupy.

Transfer to a bowl, cover and chill for 4 hours or up to a week.

Serve over the yogurt and sprinkle with the toasted almonds.
