    .............and warmed spiced apple is good too. Perfect for 'drivers', just put whatever spices you like best into apple juice and warm gently. Serve in posh glass with cinnamon stick for anyone you want to impress - ordinary mugs for your mates ;D ;D

    Cathy, sorry, I've just re-read your ingredient list for German Market punch and realised that it included apple juice ::) I really shouldn't skim read - I wouldn't have posted about the spiced apple juice!

    last time she popped in here, I gave her a mug and she was fine, maybe because I gave her a saucer with it. she used it to flick her ciggie ash in though. so dont give her a good saucer.
