The perfect drink to get you in the christmas spirit.
Tip the cider and apple juice into a large, deep saucepan. Add the tea bags, star anise, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves and 1 tsp freshly grated nutmeg.
Next add the zest of an orange, followed by the juice. Tip in the sugar and give it a good stir. Put it on a medium high heat, stir occasionally until it begins to bubble.
Turn the heat down and simmer for 30 mins to 1 hour. Serve in a heat proof mug or thick glass, with thin slices of orange and a cinnamon stick. Perfect accompaniment to a mince pie.
