The addition of rum to this Christmas market classic works really well – we've added some here to compensate for the evaporation of alcohol during cooking, but it’s not essential, if you prefer your drinks a little less punchy

Method
step 1
Mix all the ingredients together (except the rum or brandy, if using) in a large pan and warm over a low heat for 10-15 minutes or until fragrant and steaming, but not boiling. Stir in the rum or brandy for the final minute, if using. Ladle into mugs or heatproof glasses, discarding any aromatics.
