Giving it a twist

Replace the cinnamon stick with a whole star anise for liquorice flavour. Use grapefruit juice instead of orange. Throw in a handful of nuts or sesame and sunflower seeds just before serving.

Taste team comment

'I liked the hot, sweet, spicy fruit with the cold yogurt. The spices gave it a gentle warmth and filled the room with a lovely wintry aroma. I just added a few pumpkin seeds to serve.'
