My mate sent me this. Not tried it yet, but apparently it's the recipe from river cottage:

Ingredients

Cider: Apple ratio = 4:1

Dry Farmhouse Cider (never fizzy)

Sweet Apple Juice

Apple Aperitif/ Cider Brandy or similar (optional)

Chunks of chopped apple (without skin)

Chunks of orange



For the spice bag:

Muslin

String

Whole Cloves

Crushed Cinnamon Stick

Pimento (All Spice)

Star Anise

Juniper Berries

Gently heat the apple juice in a large stainless steel pan (don’t use aluminium)

Meanwhile, make your spice bag using the above ingredients to your personal taste, wrapped in a small piece of muslin, tied together with string (leaving the ends of the string long)



Tie your spice bag to the handle of your stainless steel pan, and drop into the warming apple juice. Now let the apple juice reduce to half its original size.

Throw in the cider and chopped pieces of fruit and bring the liquid up to serving temperature (don’t let it bubble, and this will burn off the alcohol!!)

Add a splash of the cider brandy/ apple aperitif (if using) and serve…

Enjoy!

Use farm house cider or scrumpy.

for every 3l or so a a couple of cups fresh apple juice and some slided apple.

Then just a brown sugar or honey to taste plus cloves, cinnamon, 2 or 3 black pepper corns, piece of fresh ginger cut into slices, a few cardomon pods. Bring to a simmer do NOT boil.

In each cup put a shot of ginger wine then top up with cider.

All a bit of trial and error really.
