Fill a flask with this and sip as you stand around your bonfire or snuggle up with a warming drink as the dark nights draw in.
Ingredients
500ml apple juice (pressed OR from concentrate)
300ml water
½ cinnamon stick
Equipment
Medium saucepan
4 x Mug or cup
Measuring jug
Flask (optional)
Instructions

- Add the cinnamon stick.

- Pour into your mugs or flask.
Skills used include:
Measuring and boiling/simmering.
Top Tips
- You could make this in a microwave. Put into a microwave-safe jug and heat for 1 minute on full power (based on an 800W microwave). Leave to stand for a few minutes so the cinnamon stick will flavour the apple juice. Heat again for another 30 seconds or until hot enough.
Something to try next time
- Experiment with different spices and fruits. Add a pinch of grated nutmeg or a few 1cm thick wedges of chopped apple, plum and pear.
Prepare now, eat later
- Any leftovers can be chilled in the fridge and reheated within 2 days.
