Tips
- Why it works
- Don't let the ginger and cloves come to a boil, or they turn bitter and lose their aroma. Over low heat they release their flavor gradually.
- Substitutions
- Use apple or pear juice instead of grape juice for a softer taste. Use 1 teaspoon of ground ginger instead of fresh, but reduce the heating time to 5 minutes.
- Common mistakes
- If the drink boils, it will turn bitter and lose its natural aroma. Watch for bubbles on the surface.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in the fridge for no more than 3 days. Before drinking, warm in a water bath to 60 degrees, without letting it boil.
- Serve with
- Serve with cookies or rusks at the New Year table or as a warm drink with dessert.
