Equipment Needed
- Saucepan: For heating the drink.
Instructions
1
✓
Pour the apple juice and orange juice into a saucepan. Throw in the cinnamon, cloves, and orange slices.
Tip: The oils released from the orange peel also flavour the drink.
2
✓
Heat slowly to boiling point, but do not let it boil vigorously.
Tip: Boiling can cause the juice to 'break' and the aromas to evaporate. It should just steam.
3
✓
If necessary, sweeten with honey, then turn off the heat and let it stand covered for 10 minutes.
Tip: During this rest (infusion), the spices permeate the juice.
4
✓
Strain into glasses and put a slice of fresh apple in each.
Tip: Dip the apple slice in lemon juice after cutting so it doesn't brown.
