A sweet and spicy tipple to beat the cold weather from Olia Hercules.
Ingredients
- 500 ml water
- 100 g caster sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 star anise
- 3 juniper berries
- 3 quinces cored and sliced into 8 wedges
- 600 ml dry cider
Servings:
Instructions
- Dissolve 50g of the caster sugar in the water over a gentle heat, stirring regularly. Add the spices and the quince.
- Cover with a lid and simmer slowly for two hours, topping up with a little water if necessary. You should be left with a saucepan of amber-coloured fruit and a gorgeous spiced syrup.
- Strain the syrup, setting aside the quince to have with some ice-cream or in your morning porridge.
- Mix the cider with the syrup and heat gently and briefly so as not to (God forbid) let all of the alcohol evaporate.
