Switzerland has almost as many winter drinks as it has mountains. Even though the Swiss may not have a reputation for drinking a lot, a rich drinking tradition continues throughout the land. Andie Pilot's new book, Drink like the Swiss, allows you to explore Switzerland through its drinks.

Below, we are giving you a winter drink recipe to try. Whether you drink it for après-ski, or you skip the skiing altogether, this warm concoction is bound to warm your belly. So let's raise a glass and drink like the Swiss.

This is a great alternative for children who can't drink the heady and alcoholic Glühwein so beloved in the winter months – though you can always use boozy cider if the occasion demands.

You need:

• 2 oranges
• 1 lemon
• 3 cinnamon sticks
• A nub of ginger, peeled and sliced
• 4 cloves
• 2 star anise
• 1 vanilla bean, sliced open
• 1 litre Süssmost (apple juice)
• 1 pot

With a vegetable peeler, peel off a few thin sections of rind. Juice the lemon and the oranges, add to the pot. Add the rest of the ingredients. Warm over medium heat, but don't boil. Serve warm.
