    Remove the pears from the pan and pour half the poaching liquid over them to keep them moist.

    Bring the remaining liquid back to the boil, remove the teabags then add the sugar and boil until the liquid is reduced to a syrup. Set aside.

    To make the cardamom cream

    Whisk the cream and cardamom together until thick.
