4 peaches
3 tsp early grey tea (3 tea bags opened)
100ml honey
savoury
300g Bulla cottage cheese
4 rashers bacon
2 slices of sourdough, sliced

Method
Bring 500ml water to the boil in a pot and add the scored peaches for 30 seconds until skin begins to peel back and immediately refresh in ice cold water. Remove skins.
Place tea bag in water and bring back to the boil for 5 minutes. Remove the infuser and add honey and submerge peaches for 1 hour or overnight if possible and keep in the fridge to absorb the flavour.
Savoury option
Fry bacon in pan to your liking and smother the toasted sourdough with cottage cheese and add sliced peaches and bacon and serve.
Sweet option
Add the vanilla seeds to the thickened cream and whip.
Serve peaches atop the whipped cream and crumble over the crushed toasted walnuts.
