Alcohol-free mulled drink with elderberry and honey
A fragrant hot drink for dark November evenings and the Christmas table that you can happily serve to children and drivers too. Elderberry nectar brings a deep colour and berry flavour, while apple juice adds gentle sweetness.

Preparation
1Pour the elderberry nectar and apple juice into a saucepan.
2Wash the orange and cut it into slices. Add the orange, dried apples, cinnamon, cloves, allspice and ginger to the pan.
3Heat gently for about 10 minutes until very hot but not boiling – boiling makes the spices bitter.
4Take off the heat, cover and leave to infuse for 5 minutes.
5Stir in honey to taste once the drink is no longer boiling hot, so the honey keeps its aroma.
6Pour into glasses or mugs with a few apple and orange slices and serve straight away.
