Directions
In a 1«-qt. saucepan, boil the water and then steep the tea in it for 5 minutes. Discard the tea bags and add sugar and cinnamon stick.
Bring to a boil and add the plums. Lower the heat, cover and simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until the plums are tender but firm. Lift out the plums with a slotted spoon and transfer to a serving dish. Reduce the sauce by boiling for 5 minutes, then strain the sauce over the plums.
Serve over pudding or ice cream.
