Autumnal mulled apple juice (or cider!)

Serves 4 25 min

Autumn is the time for apple harvesting and juicing. Here is a comforting tipple for a chilly night or a gathering around the bonfire. Use apple juice or cider depending on the crowd. If the cider is very dry, a little brown sugar can be used to sweeten, and a shot or two of brandy makes it even more “fortifying”
