Ingredients

• 4 mint sprigs
• 0.5 cucumber, sliced
• 2 cm piece of ginger, peeled and sliced
• 1 orange, sliced
• ice
• 500 ml lemonade
• 0.5 cucumber, sliced
• 1 Bramley apple, cored and chopped
• 2 cm piece of ginger, peeled and sliced
• 1 lemon, sliced
• 100 g caster sugar
• 4 cloves
• 0.5 cinnamon stick

Steps

1. For the base, put the cucumber, apple, ginger, lemon slices, sugar, cloves, cinnamon stick and 50ml water into a saucepan and cook, stirring over a medium heat until the apple has softened, about 10 mins. Remove from the heat and stir in the vinegar. Leave to cool, then push the mixture through a sieve and discard the pulp and whole spices.
