Ingredients

• 1 l cloudy apple juice
• 1 orange, peel pared into strips, plus slices to serve
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 4 Cloves
• 2 Star anise (optional)
• 3 slices slices of fresh ginger
• 1 tbsp brown sugar or maple syrup, to taste (optional)

Method

1. Put the apple juice, orange peel, cinnamon, cloves, star anise and ginger in a large pan.
2. Heat gently until just steaming, then keep it barely simmering for 10 min so the spices infuse. Don't let it boil hard or it loses its fresh flavour.
3. Taste and add a little sugar or maple syrup if you like it sweeter. Strain into mugs or heatproof glasses and add an orange slice to each.

Tips

• Keep it warm in a slow cooker on low for parties.
• Leftovers can be chilled and served over ice the next day.
