Ingredients

  • 1.5 litres dry apple cider*
  • 100g light brown sugar
  • 3 cinnamon sticks
  • 5cm root ginger, sliced
  • 10 whole cloves
  • 150ml rum (we used Appleton Estate Jamaican rum)
  • 1 apple, thinly sliced

Step by step

  1. Put the cider, sugar, cinnamon sticks, ginger and cloves in a large pan. Warm over a medium heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
  2. Add the rum and apple slices and let the mixture warm through until it’s hot but not boiling. Strain through a sieve into a warmed jug to make it easier to serve, adding the apple slices and cinnamon sticks back in but discarding the ginger and cloves. Pour into heatproof glasses to serve.

    *Use vegan cider if required.
