Instructions

  1. Rinse the rowanberries thoroughly and remove the stems.
  2. Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan with the cinnamon stick and cloves.
  3. Add the berries and simmer for 15 minutes over low heat, until they burst and release their colour.
  4. Add the sugar and stir until fully dissolved, then cook for another 5 minutes.
  5. Remove from the heat, let it infuse for 10 minutes, then strain the liquid through a fine sieve.
  6. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  7. Serve well chilled, garnished with a sprig of fresh mint.

Variations and tips

Apple version. Add an apple cut into wedges during cooking to soften the tartness of the rowanberries.

With what's available here. Rowanberries are sometimes sold at autumn markets; otherwise frozen sour cherries give a very similar result.
