Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 30 min.
Prepare 400 g confectioner's custard (crème pâtissière, or french pastry cream), after leaving the 1 teaspoon tea to infuse in the milk for 5 minutes.
I advise you to use green tea, which goes very well with peaches, and is not at all bitter.

Stage 2
Apart from infusing the tea, follow the method for classic confectioner's custard (crème pâtissière, or french pastry cream). At the end, add an attractive green colour with 5 drops food colouring.
Cover and leave to cool.
Cover and leave to cool.
Stage 3 - 25 min.
Roll out 300 g sweetcrust pastry (pâte sablée) and line your tart tin or mould, then bake the empty pastry case "blind".
Stage 4 - 5 min.
Poach 4 peaches (preferably white) in 1 litre poaching syrup, then cut into 8 slices.
Stage 5 - 3 min.
Assemble the tart
Spread the green-tea custard in an even layer in the pastry case.Stage 6 - 5 min.
Arrange the well-drained peach slices on top of the custard.
Stage 7 - 3 min.
If possible, glaze the fruit with a little apricot glaze for a glossy finish. This will also help protect the fruit from oxidation (if you are not serving the tart within a couple of hours).
Stage 8
Keep cold before serving.
Remarks
You can very the recipe by using a black tea instead of the green, but leave this to infuse for no longer than 3 minutes, or the custard flavour will be too bitter.
Keeping: A day in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
