Method

  1. Put the sugar, the orange zest, juice and chunks, cinnamon and nutmeg in a pan with 300ml/1⁄2pt water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 10 mins to infuse the spices, then add the wine and apple slices and bring to a simmer. Serve in heatproof glasses.

Making it non-alcoholic

Replace the water with some tea (Ceylon is a good choice), simmer for 2-3 mins and you can replace the wine with red grape juice.
