  • Add apricots, figs, and sugar to tea mixture in pan. Return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, partially covered, until fruits are tender and liquid is reduced to a thick syrup, 20 to 25 minutes. Compote can be served warm or at room temperature. Serve yogurt on the side, with a little of the syrup drizzled on top.

Cook's Notes

If the compote becomes dry before you're ready to serve it, stir in 1/4 cup of water, and simmer for 1 minute.
