Tis the most wonderful time of the year

8th Dec - Spiced Apple Punch - Non-Alcoholic

As promised, my Spiced Apple Punch:

Ingredients:
          2 litres of apple juice
          3 tablespoons of honey (if necessary add more to taste)
          1 orange peel - peeled in stripes
          2 sliced lemons
          2 sliced clementine
          5 star anise
          5 cloves
          2 large cinnamon stick
          6 all spice berries

How to make:
It's simple - put everything in a saucepan and simmer on a low heat for 10/15 minutes or longer - make sure it doesn't boil.

Tips you could try:
          use maple syrup instead of honey
          put all spices & peels in a muslin square/spice bag & secure with kitchen string, if you want a clean liquid.
          decorate with a curled piece of peel or slice, or a cinnamon stick.
          replace half the apple juice with a dry cider and 2 tablespoons of apple brandy or a cheeky twist.

Enjoy
