Ingredients

For the recipe:
  • ½ tsp Whole allspice berries
  • 1tsp Whole cloves, or coarse ground
  • ½ tsp Ground nutmeg, ideally quite coarse, so use a nutmeg grater
  • 2tsp Ground cinnamon (Sri Lankan cinnamon is much nicer than Chinese cinnamon or cassia from China, Indonesia or Vietnam)
  • ½ Orange
  • ½ Lemon
  • 125g Sugar
  • 600ml Water

Method

01
Chop up the orange and lemon, leaving the peel on. Put all the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Simmer for 1 hour with the lid on the pan (don’t evapourate off as this is really precious). Strain through a fine sieve and bottle.
02
To use, take 1 measure of syrup to 2 measures of wine. Heat to just below boiling point and serve in glasses.
