Method

  • step 1

    For the base, put the cucumber, apple, ginger, lemon slices, sugar, cloves, cinnamon stick and 50ml water into a saucepan and cook, stirring over a medium heat until the apple has softened, about 10 mins. Remove from the heat and stir in the vinegar. Leave to cool, then push the mixture through a sieve and discard the pulp and whole spices.

  • step 2

    Pour the strained mixture into a large jug, then add the mint sprigs, cucumber, ginger, orange slices and a handful of ice. Top up with the lemonade and stir to combine. Serve in tumblers.

Did not care for the syrup. Adding the vinegar before straining meant the cucumbers took on a pickled taste that was overwhelming. Also not sure if the proportions are correct with only 50ml water for the base. Did not work well for me. I wonder if it should have been 500ml.
