method
1. Place all the ingredients in a large saucepan.
2. Bring the pan to the boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes over a low heat.
3. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool completely - this will take about 2 hours.
4. Remove the cinnamon stick and cloves, and then chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving.
