A fruit tea take on mulled wine: a sweet rosehip and raspberry tea gently steeped with cinnamon, cloves, orange peel and fresh ginger until the kitchen smells of Christmas. It is warming and festive on its own, with no alcohol, and a splash of spiced red wine turns it into the grown up version if you want it. A good one for a cold afternoon or a crowd.

Keep it warm, not boiling, so the spices stay fragrant rather than stewed.

You'll need

3 tea bags of Dragonfly Organic Sweet Rosehip and Raspberry
400ml freshly drawn water at 100C, just off the boil
1 cinnamon stick (about 7cm)
2 whole cloves
2 thin orange peel strips, peeled with a vegetable peeler
1 50mm strip of fresh root ginger, peeled
2 teaspoons of clear honey
Optional 60ml warm spiced red wine, for the adult build
2 250ml warmed mugs
1 500ml saucepan with lid

Method

Warm the mugs.
Pour the water into a saucepan and add the tea bags, cinnamon, cloves, orange peel and ginger.
Cover and steep over the lowest heat for seven minutes; keep it just below a simmer, never boiling.
Lift the tea bags out, leaving the spices in the pan, and stir in the honey.
For the grown up version, stir in the warm spiced red wine; for alcohol free, leave it out.
Ladle into the warmed mugs, leaving the spices behind.
Tip: scale it up in a bigger pan and keep it warm on the lowest heat for a party, topping up as needed.

What you'll end up with: Two mugs of warm, fragrant mulled rosehip, spiced with cinnamon, cloves, orange and ginger, with or without wine.
