Description

Aromatic, warming non-alcoholic drink that is the essence of autumn and winter evenings. Its base is naturally cloudy apple juice, which, when slowly heated with a wealth of spicy seasonings – cinnamon, cloves, and star anise – releases a deep, enveloping aroma. Freshness and a citrus note are added by slices of juicy orange, while a surprising yet perfectly complementary touch is a sprig of fresh rosemary, bringing a forest-like, slightly resinous flavor. The mulled drink has a beautiful golden-amber color and is a wonderful alternative to traditional mulled wine, perfect for gatherings with family and friends, including children. Served hot, garnished with fruits and spices, it not only tastes great but also makes a beautiful table decoration.

Preparation steps

Preparation of ingredients

1

Start by preparing the orange. Place it on a cutting board and scrub its skin thoroughly under running warm water using a vegetable brush. Then, place it in a bowl and pour boiling water over it for about 30 seconds to remove wax and impurities. Carefully remove the orange and dry it with a paper towel. Using a sharp knife, slice it into pieces about 0.5 cm thick.

Ingredients: Orange
Use a stable cutting board and a sharp chef's knife. Blanching the orange is key, as we will be cooking it with the peel, which could give the drink a bitter taste if not properly prepared.
2

Now prepare the ginger. Cut off a piece of the root about 2-3 cm long. Using a small teaspoon, scrape off the thin skin from the ginger – this is easier and more economical than peeling with a knife. Then slice the peeled ginger into thin slices.

Ingredients: Fresh ginger
You don't need to be very precise when chopping the ginger; the goal is to release its aroma. If you like a very spicy flavor, you can add more.

Cooking mulled wine

3

In a large pot with a thick bottom (at least 3 liters), place all the prepared ingredients. Pour in the entire apple juice. Add the orange slices, ginger slices, cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, and the rinsed sprig of fresh rosemary. Gently stir everything with a large wooden spoon.

Ingredients: Sok jabłkowy naturalnie mętny, Orange, Cinnamon stick, Whole cloves, Star anise, Fresh ginger, Sprig of fresh rosemary
A pot with a thick bottom will prevent the juice from burning and ensure even heat distribution. Using a wooden spoon is recommended to avoid scratching the pot.
4

Place a pot on the stove over medium heat. Slowly heat the drink, stirring regularly, until it becomes very hot and intense aromas begin to rise from it. It is crucial NOT TO LET the mulled wine come to a boil. When the first small bubbles start to appear on the surface, immediately reduce the burner to the lowest setting.

The most important mistake to avoid is boiling the mulled wine. Boiling will cause the delicate essential oils from the spices to evaporate, and the drink will lose its depth of flavor. Watch the drink closely.
5

Cover the pot with a lid and leave it on low heat for about 20-30 minutes. This process, called hot maceration, will allow the flavors and aromas to fully blend. The drink should gently 'simmer,' but not boil. You can stir the contents of the pot occasionally.

If your stove heats too strongly even on the lowest setting, you can place a special heat-diffusing pad under the pot or simply turn off the heat and leave the pot covered for 30 minutes.
6

After 20-30 minutes, turn off the heat. Using a ladle, carefully taste a bit of the mulled wine (be careful, it's hot!). Assess whether it is sweet enough. If you prefer sweeter drinks, this is the moment to add honey or maple syrup. Add one tablespoon, stir until dissolved, and taste again, adding more if necessary.

Ingredients: wildflower honey
Add the sweetener gradually. Remember that honey added to very hot liquid loses some of its health properties, so it's best to add it after the drink has cooled slightly. If you plan to add rum, keep in mind that it can also affect the final taste.

Serving

7

If you are making the adult version, now is the time to add the rum. Pour it into the pot and gently stir. Do not cook the drink after adding the alcohol to prevent it from evaporating. Prepare mugs or glasses made of thick glass.

Ingredients: Dark rum
Use ceramic cups or mugs for mulled wine with a handle to avoid burns. You can adjust the amount of rum to your own preferences.
8

Using a ladle, pour the hot mulled wine into the prepared mugs. You can strain it through a fine mesh sieve if you prefer a clear drink, or pour it directly from the pot along with the spices and fruits for a more rustic effect. Place a fresh slice of orange in each mug and, if you like, a cinnamon stick from the pot. Serve immediately while it's hot.

For additional decoration, you can add a few fresh or frozen cranberries to each cup. They look beautiful and add a slightly tart flavor.

Fun Fact

💡

The tradition of drinking hot, spiced beverages dates back to Roman times. The Romans heated wine with spices to protect themselves from the cold during their conquests in Europe. Non-alcoholic versions, such as mulled cider or apple juice, became popular in Scandinavian countries and the UK as 'Wassail', a drink consumed during Christmas celebrations.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve the mulled wine in thick glass or ceramic mugs that will keep the heat for a long time. Add a fresh slice of orange, a cinnamon stick, or a star anise to each serving for decoration. For a 'wow' effect, you can rub the rim of the mug with a piece of orange and then dip it in a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon, creating a sweet, aromatic crust.

🥡 Storage

If you have leftover mulled wine, you can store it in the fridge in a tightly sealed jar or bottle for up to 3 days. Before serving, reheat it gently over low heat, being careful not to bring it to a boil. The flavor after storage may become even deeper and more intense.
