Method

  1. 1

    Combine and simmer

    Pour the fruit juice into a saucepan and add the cloves, cinnamon stick and orange slices.

  2. 2

    Simmer gently

    Heat over medium-low heat and simmer, without boiling, for 10 minutes to let the spices infuse.

  3. 3

    Sweeten

    Stir in the honey to taste.

  4. 4

    Steep

    Turn off the heat and let it steep a further 5 minutes for a fuller flavour.

  5. 5

    Strain and serve

    Strain out the whole spices and orange slices, and serve warm in mugs.

Nitra tip

Simmer gently rather than boiling hard — a rolling boil can make the spices taste bitter.
