Wait, baked tea? I have never heard of this! Details/recipe?

The official recipe is like this:
1 kg of fruit (can be frozen and fresh) - pears, apples, currants, plums, grapes, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries.. what ever you have or like
1 kg of granulated sugar waaaay too much, imho, I use 100 grams, max and add apple juice instead
1 lemon
teaspoon of cinnamon I love cinnamon, so I use more
cloves, star anise, anise, grated lemon peel

Cut into chunks, mix in a baking pan, add spices and sugar, put in a preheated oven for about 45 minutes at 220 degrees (depends on your oven, the cooking time is only approximate). Stir occasionally during baking. While it´s still hot, pour into glasses, put a lid on and turn it upside down. After it cools down, you can store it probably for several months - I never had a batch longer than one month :-)

Then you just put 2 - 3 teaspoons in your cup and pour hot water over it. And enjoy :-)
