Put 1 litre of apple juice in the jug. In the basket put half a lemon [cut into three or four pieces], plus two cinnamon sticks [snapped in pieces] and 1 tablespoon of honey [or demerara sugar]
Plug in the percolator and let it…perk…You’ll end up with a lovely warming [non alcoholic] drink – just the thing for a wet, windy day. If you don’t have one of these, then tie up the flavourings in a square of muslin, and drop it into a saucepan of apple juice, and warm through gently to just below boiling point.
My Russell Hobbs dates back to 1977 – I used to make my coffee in it when I was a PGCE student in Oxford!
This sounds rather nummy. I will be making mine in a saucepan :) I only have lemon juice from a bottle so I will have to google how much to use, but I love spotting a recipe that I have all ingredients for!!!

Sounds nice. We often warm apple juice in a pan, with similar spices and lemon and orange slices. Leave it on a really low heat, and not only do you have a nice, warm festive drink, but your whole hose smells amazing too :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Angela! What a cook percolator! I love perked coffee but my expensive percolators keep dying. They don't make them like they used to.
ReplyDeleteI shall have some heated apple cider today and think of you.
Hot apple cider (press pressed juice in the UK) with cinnamom is a favourite with us...it's so warming.
