Serves 12
2l cherry juicepeel from 3 oranges, pared with a vegetable peeler1 thumb-sized red chilli, pierced a few times but left whole3 cinnamon sticks10 cloves6 slices gingerDracula’s fangs sweets (available from sweet shops), to serve, optional
STEP 1Tip the cherry juice, orange peel, chilli, cinnamon sticks, cloves and ginger into a large saucepan. Simmer for 5 mins, then turn off the heat. Leave to cool, then chill for at least 4 hrs, or up to 2 days – the longer you leave it the more intense the flavours. If serving to young children, take the chilli out after a few hours.STEP 2When you’re ready to serve, pour the juice into a jug. Serve in glass bottles or glasses and pop a straw in each. If you’re adding vodka, do so at this stage. Dangle a fangs sweet from each glass.
