Method
Step 1 of 4
In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups water with sugar, teabags, ginger, cinnamon and cardamom. Stir over high heat to dissolve sugar, then bring to the boil. Discard teabags.
Step 2 of 4
Peel pears, leaving stems attached. Add pears to liquid and add more water, if needed, to cover. Cover with a round of baking paper (cut to the size of saucepan) and weigh down with a small heat-proof plate to keep pears submerged. Reduce heat to medium and simmer gently for 20 minutes or until pears are soft throughout. Remove pears from liquid and set aside.
Step 3 of 4
Increase heat to high and boil liquid for 15 minutes or until reduced by half to make a thin syrup.
Step 4 of 4
Place pears in a dish and spoon over syrup. Sprinkle with pistachios and serve.
