Simmer for 5 mins, then turn off the heat.
Leave to cool, then chill for at least 4 hrs, or up to 2 days, the longer you leave it the more intense the flavours.
If you’re not about the spice, be sure to take the chilli out after a few hours.
When you’re ready to serve, pour the juice into a jug.
Serve in glass bottles or glasses and pop a straw in each. If you’re adding vodka, do so at this stage.
