Hot Apple
A warming Winter drink on a cold day, this spiced apple drink will warm everyone up after a chilly walk. We have also taken it out with us in a thermos, which also works well. The combination of apple and cinnamon is so seasonal and comforting.
This is also a great alternative for adults too as a non-alcoholic alternative to mulled wine.
ingredients
750ml good quality apple juice
2 cinnamon sticks
1 large piece of orange peel
runny honey to taste (not suitable for babies under 1 years old)
method
Take a pot add the apple juice, cinnamon sticks and orange peel. Warm until a low boil then drop the temperature right down and allow the warm apple juice to steep for 5 minutes, with the aromatics. After 5 minutes remove the cinnamon and orange peel.
Test for sweetness you can adjust with a little honey as needed. Serve in mugs and enjoy.
