This is a homebrewing Yanks version.
Take a one gallon plastic bottle of Apple juice/cider. Pour off one cup to allow "head room". Add a "pinch" of Red Star Champagne yeast (1/8 teaspoon)
Place a stick of cinnamon, and/or fresh ginger slices.
Set aside for two weeks and release pressure every few days when pressure bulges container...it will have carbonation and about 6% alcohol. Placing the container in a refrigerator will slow/stop fermentation.
Drink and enjoy cold.
OR add cinnamon stick, allspice berries, ginger root, citrus peel, bring to simmer and serve HOT immediately...add sugar to taste if you do not like it dry.
