Cut the apple and pear into thin slices.

Combine white wine, apple juice and the apple and pear slices and bring to a boil at level 7.

Place the elderflower tea in small teabags, tie shut and add to the pot. Stir in the cinnamon sticks, cinnamon flowers and sugar and simmer over low heat for 5 to 7 minutes.

Strain the finished liquid into glasses. One or two apple and pear slices and a cinnamon stick make the glasses look especially festive.
