Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole pair peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 1 tbsp ginger freshly grated
  • 1 tsp Manuka honey or raw
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 pinch cinnamon or cardamom (for warmth)

Instructions
 

  • Simmer Ingredients: In a small saucepan, add chopped pear, grated ginger, and water. Bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10–12 minutes, or until the pear is tender and soft.
  • Blend & Strain (if desired): Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until nice and smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth for a silky texture (or enjoy as-is for fiber).
  • Add Final Flavors: Stir in Manuka honey and lemon juice while the mixture is still warm. Add cinnamon or cardamom if using.
  • Serve Warm: Pour into a mug and sip slowly, ideally in the evening for a calming effect.
