Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 3 min.

Put 1 litre 200 ml apple juice into a saucepan and add 120 mls caster sugar, 6 tonka beans* (coarsely chopped), 2 vanillas pod (split lengthways) and 20 greens cardamoms beans.

*American cooks should be aware that tonka beans are currently banned in the USA by the FDA.

Stage 2 - 10 min.

Put on medium heat and bring to the boil.

Take off the heat, cover (very important) and leave to infuse for a good hour or longer.

Stage 3 - 1 hour

Strain the juice and tip any remaining spices into the fine sieve you are using.

The mulled apple juice is ready and can be put into sealed bottles and kept in the fridge for several days.

Stage 4 - 5 min.

Before serving, bring up to a simmer on medium heat...

Stage 5

...and serve piping hot in small coffee cups.

Remarks

If you'd like a more syrupy drink, add a little more sugar.

To bring out even more cardamom flavour, chop or crush the seeds as well. You can also give the tonka*, cardamom and vanilla a quick blast in a blender before adding this ground spice mixture to the apples.

*American cooks should be aware that tonka beans are currently banned in the USA by the FDA.

Keeping

A few days in the fridge, in a sealed bottle.
