Ingredients

1 quart apple cider
1/4 cup dark rum
1 cup apple cinnamon tea, made up from an herbal teabag
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 clementines
4 whole cloves
1 stick cinnamon
2 fresh bay leaves, preferably Turkish
2 cardamom pods, bruised
1 x 1-inch piece unpeeled ginger

Directions

1

Pour the cider, rum, and herbal tea into a wide saucepan, add the sugar and pour over a low heat to mull.
2

Halve the clementines, stick a clove into each half, and add them to the pan.
3

Break the cinnamon sticks in half, and tip into the pan.
4

Add the bay leaves, bruised cardamom pods and whole piece of ginger, and let everything infuse as the pan comes almost to the boil.
5

Once the pan is near to boiling, turn down the heat, so that it just keeps warm, and ladle into heatproof glasses with handles to serve.
6

To make this into a non-alcoholic warmer, replace the cider and rum with 1 quart of apple juice and 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice.

You probably wont need the sugar, but taste when warm to see if you want a little and the add as you like.
