- 150ml Bertha's Revenge Irish Gin
- 200ml water
- 3 tbsp Irish honey
- 3 star anise
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 1 orange and 1 lemon, sliced and studded with cloves
Directions
- Place all the liquid ingredients in a pot and stir. Put a lid on and leave on a low heat for at least one hour but ideally three.

Tips
A dash of a spicy gin cuts through the wine and cider, smoothing out all the tannins and giving the recipe a little more heat and depth.
