Non-alcoholic mulled wine

Fruit

Slice the orange into rounds, the apple into thin wedges and the ginger into thin coins.

Base

Pour the juice into a saucepan, add the sugar, cinnamon, cloves and ginger.

Warming

Warm over low heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves and it starts to steam. Do not boil.

Boiling makes the juice cloying and the cloves bitter.

Steep

Add the fruit, take off the heat, cover and let it infuse.

Serving

Strain and pour into mugs, adding an orange slice to each. Done!

The drink is hot — sip carefully.
