Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 30 min.
Prepare 1 cup Confectioner's custard (Crème pâtissière, or French pastry cream), after leaving the ½ 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.

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

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.

A day in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
