Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

For compote:
1 1/4 cups water
3 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
1 1/2 cups mixed dried fruit such as apricots, cherries, cranberries, and apples, chopped if large
1 tea bag of black tea such as orange pekoe or English breakfast
1 to 3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
For couscous:
