Method
Using a vegetable peeler, remove the peels from the lemons, then squeeze the juice. Drop the peels into a saucepan along with the lemon and orange juice, honey and spices. Pour in the boiling water and put the pot on a medium heat. Stir it all up for a few minutes and keep it on a medium heat for 15 minutes.
For each serve, pour 50ml of gin into a glass mug. Top it up with about 150ml of the orange juice mix, using a tea strainer to keep any solids out of the cup as you pour it in. Garnish with a cinnamon stick.
