Ingredients for approx. 4 cups

  • 1 l organic apple juice, naturally cloudy
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 3 cloves
  • 1 star anise
  • 1 organic orange
  • 2-3 slices of ginger, peeled (just as you like)
  • 1 apple
  • Rum or amaretto (just as you like)

 

Preparation:

Pour the apple juice into a pot. Squeeze the orange and add the juice, the spices and – if desired – the ginger. For more orange flavour, you can also add some orange zest.

Bring the mixture slowly to the boil, then leave to infuse on the switched-off hotplate for 5 to 10 minutes, according to taste. Then remove or strain the spices and pour the hot apple juice into cups.

Cut the apple (with skin, without core) into thin slices and add 1 to 2 slices to each cup. Add a dash of rum or amaretto if desired and enjoy warm.
