Description

Here is the essence of a fall-winter evening captured in a mug – a non-alcoholic, aromatic mulled drink that warms both body and soul. Its deep, ruby color catches the eye, while the aroma of cinnamon, cloves, and orange instantly creates a cozy atmosphere. The taste perfectly balances the natural sweetness of cloudy apple juice with the refreshing tartness of cranberry, creating a complex and multi-dimensional profile. The addition of fresh ginger introduces a subtly spicy note that beautifully complements the other spices. It is an ideal choice for gatherings with family and friends, as an alternative to traditional mulled wine. It can be served to both children and adults, and the optional addition of rum or brandy easily transforms it into an exquisite drink for special occasions.

Preparation steps

Preparation of ingredients

1

Start by preparing the fresh ingredients. Rinse the orange thoroughly under running water, then blanch it in boiling water, pouring it slowly from all sides. Dry it with a paper towel. Using a sharp knife on a cutting board, slice half of the orange into thin slices about 0.5 cm thick. From the other half, grate only the orange part of the peel (zest) using a fine grater. Peel the ginger root with a teaspoon or a small knife, then slice it into thin pieces.

Ingredients: Orange, Fresh ginger
It is best to use a large pot with a thick bottom (capacity of about 3 liters), which will prevent burning and ensure even heating. Blanching the oranges is important to remove wax and impurities from the peel.

Combining and heating

2

In the prepared pot, place all the spices: cinnamon sticks, cloves, and star anise. Add the orange slices, grated zest, and ginger slices. Then pour in the entire apple juice and cranberry juice. Gently stir everything with a wooden spoon to combine the ingredients.

Ingredients: 100% cloudy apple juice, Sok żurawinowy 100%, Cinnamon stick, Whole cloves, Star anise, Orange, Fresh ginger
At this stage, do not add honey or alcohol yet. Honey will lose its properties at high temperatures, and the alcohol will evaporate. Distributing the spices at the bottom of the pot before pouring in the juices will help them release their aroma more quickly.

Brewing the drink

3

Place a pot on the stove over medium heat. Slowly heat the drink, stirring regularly, until it is very hot and small bubbles start to appear at the edges of the pot – this will take about 5-7 minutes. It is absolutely crucial not to let the mulled wine come to a boil. As soon as you notice that the drink is about to boil, immediately reduce the burner to the lowest setting.

Boiling the drink may cause the juices to become cloudy and lose some vitamins, while the spices may take on a bitter taste. Watch the drink closely – the goal is gentle 'steeping', not boiling.
4

Cover the pot with a lid, leaving a small gap, and let the drink steep on the lowest heat for about 15-20 minutes. This time will allow the spices to fully release their aromas and flavors, which will infuse into the juices, creating a rich and complex composition.

The longer the drink steeps, the more intense its flavor will be. If you have time, you can steep it for up to 30 minutes. Remember to keep the heat really low, so the drink just gently 'flickers'.

Serving

5

Remove the pot from the heat. Taste the drink and decide if it needs sweetening. If so, add honey or maple syrup (start with one tablespoon) and stir until completely dissolved. If you are making the adult version, this is the time to add rum or brandy. Strain the mulled wine through a fine mesh sieve into heatproof mugs or glasses to separate the spices. For garnish, you can add a fresh slice of orange, a cinnamon stick, or a few fresh cranberries to each serving.

Ingredients: wildflower honey, Fresh cranberry
Use a ladle to pour the drink to avoid spills. Serve immediately while it's hot. If you want to leave the spices in the drink for visual effect, inform your guests to be careful of them while drinking.

Fun Fact

💡

The tradition of drinking hot, spiced beverages in winter dates back to Roman times. The Romans heated wine with spices to protect themselves from the cold during their conquests. In medieval England, 'wassail' was popular, a hot cider or beer with spices that was toasted for prosperity and good harvests.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve the mulled wine in thick-walled glasses with handles or ceramic mugs that will keep the heat for a long time. You can add a fresh slice of orange and a few cranberries for decoration to each serving. For a larger group of guests, the prepared mulled wine can be poured into a slow cooker and set to the 'keep warm' function, allowing everyone to pour themselves a hot drink at any time.

🥡 Storage

If you have leftover mulled wine, wait until it cools completely. Then strain it to remove all the additions and pour it into a glass bottle or jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slowly over low heat, avoiding boiling.
