Hibiscus-Poached Peach

  1. Peel the peach with a serrated vegetable peeler if you have one.
  2. If you dont, pour the water into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil.
  3. Cut a shallow X shape on the bottom of the peach, and immerse it in the water for about 1 minute, then remove it with a slotted spoon and decrease the heat so that the water is at a bare simmer.
  4. Let the peach cool; peel the skin off, starting where it has curled up around the X shape.
  5. Cut the peach in half and remove the pit.
  6. (If you are able to peel the peach with a peeler, bring the water to a boil and then reduce to a bare simmer.)
  7. Add the hibiscus and sugar to the water and stir to dissolve the sugar.
  8. Cook the hibiscus for about 5 minutes, until the water is a deep burgundy color.
  9. Immerse the peach halves, turn off the heat, and cover the saucepan.
  10. Let the peach sit in the hibiscus tea for at least 30 minutes, until it is stained red.
  11. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the peach halves to a dessert bowl.
  12. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the hibiscus tea and one of the rehydrated hibiscus flowers.
  13. Strain the rest of the tea, transfer it to a pitcher, and refrigerate it for drinking; discard the flowers.
  14. Pour the reserved hibiscus tea into a wide skillet set over medium-high heat.
  15. Bring it to a boil and let it bubble away until it reduces to a syrupy glaze, 5 to 10 minutes.
  16. Pour the glaze over the peach halves, garnish with the reserve hibiscus flower, drizzle with the Greek yogurt, and eat.
