INGREDIENTS:

  • 350ml apple juice
  • 3 oranges
  • 8 cloves
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 3cm ginger
  • 4cl / 40ml gin
  • 1 organic orange to garnish

PREPARATION:

Wash the peel of an orange with hot water, then dry, grate thinly and set aside.

Press out the juice of 3 oranges and add to a pot, together with the apple juice, cloves, cinnamon bark and grated orange peel. Peel the ginger, cut into thin slices and also add to the pot.

Heat the ingredients and leave to simmer for approx. 15-20 minutes, but do not bring to the boil! Strain the contents of the pot, allow to cool for a little while so that the gin does not turn bitter and separate when combined.

Pour 2cl / 20ml of gin each into two glasses, and top up with mulled juice. Garnish with orange slices and cinnamon bark.
