Ingredients
| 1 bottle | of white wine |
| 400ml | apple juice |
| 2 sticks | of cinnamon |
| 2 | star anise |
| 100g | demerara sugar |
| 1 | orange, strips of rind |
Method
Place all of the ingredients in a saucepan over a medium heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and continue to heat for about 10 minutes for all of the flavours to infuse. Make sure you don’t allow the wine to boil as you will lose all of the alcohol. Serve in heatproof glasses or mugs.
PS… If you prefer, red wine can be used instead of white.
