Instructions

Bring 2 cups of water to a rapid boil, add spices, mix well, then add tea bags; steep for 8 minutes. Fit a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl and strain the tea mixture into it; set aside.
In the same pan add the milk and and brown sugar and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until sugar has dissolved; about 4-5 minutes. Add the milk mixture to the tea mixture, add in vanilla, and stir well to combine. Pour mixture in a smaller sauce pan (large enough to hold the liquid but not too wide that it's shallow; you want the liquid to completely cover the pears); set over medium heat and allow the mixture to come to a calm simmer.
In the meantime, prepare your pears...
Peel pears with a vegetable peeler (or carefully with a paring knife). Cut them into quarters, then scoop out any seeds or stems.
Once chai tea mixture is at a gentle simmer, add the pears to the liquid, and cook at a low simmer, stirring only once or twice, for 20-25 minutes, or until pears are soft and cooked through.
Using a slotted spoon remove pears from the liquid and transfer them to small plates.
I like to serve 2 or 3 pieces per plate, topped with 2 tablespoons of salted caramel sauce, a scoop of cinnamon ice cream, and a sprinkle of chopped smoked almonds. I highly recommend trying it this way, too!
The pears can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
