  • Total time: 25 min
  • Serves 4
  • Very easy

Ingredients

Number of people: Serves 4

  • ১ l apple juice
  • ১ orange
  • ১ cinnamon stick
  • ২ cloves
  • ১ star anise

Preparation stepsTotal time: 25 min

  1. Spices5 min

    Juice, orange slices and spices in a saucepan. Set the heat so it simmers or browns without smoking. Stir the bottom once at the start so nothing sticks. Amount for this step: 1 orange.

  2. Simmer10 min

    10 minutes over low heat, without a hard boil. The liquid should simmer, not boil. Stay close for the first few minutes to set the heat, then check that nothing sticks to the bottom.

  3. Rest5 min

    5 minutes off the heat. Stay off the heat: the residual warmth is enough. Putting the pan back on the heat at this point can split the cream, seize the chocolate or scramble the eggs.

  4. Strain5 min

    Pour into heatproof glasses. Count the time from when you start, and only move on once you get the result described.
