Description

Aromatic, warming, and non-alcoholic mulled apple juice is the perfect drink for chilly autumn and winter evenings. Its deep, sweet-spicy flavor comes from the combination of the natural sweetness of apples with the richness of spices such as cinnamon, cloves, and star anise. The freshness and slightly citrus note is brought by juicy orange, while a surprising, forest-like accent is provided by a sprig of rosemary, which adds an extraordinary depth to the drink. Visually, the mulled drink looks stunning – in transparent cups, you can see floating slices of orange and whole spices, and the rising steam fills the entire house with the scent of holidays and coziness. It is an excellent alternative to traditional mulled wine, suitable for the whole family. It can be served at gatherings with friends, during holiday parties, or simply enjoyed alone with a good book in hand.

Preparation steps

1

Start by thoroughly preparing the ingredients. Wash the orange very carefully under hot running water, using a vegetable brush to remove wax and impurities from the skin. Then, using a sharp knife on a cutting board, slice half of the orange into thin slices about 0.5 cm thick. Squeeze the juice from the other half into a small bowl. If you are using ginger, peel it with a small knife or the edge of a teaspoon, and then slice it thinly.

Ingredients: Orange, Fresh ginger
Thoroughly washing the orange is crucial, as it will be heated in the drink along with the peel. Use a stable cutting board to avoid slipping with the knife. You can use a simple manual citrus juicer to extract the juice.
2

In a large pot with a thick bottom (with a capacity of at least 2-3 liters), place all the prepared ingredients. Pour in 1000 ml of apple juice. Add the sliced oranges and the juice squeezed from the other half. Toss in the cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, and two sprigs of fresh rosemary. If you opted for the version with ginger, also add its slices.

Ingredients: Cloudy apple juice, Orange, Cinnamon stick, Cloves, Star anise, Fresh rosemary, Fresh ginger
Using a pot with a thick bottom will help distribute heat evenly and prevent the juice from burning. At this stage, do not add honey yet – you will do this at the very end to preserve its valuable properties.
3

Place a pot on the stove over medium heat. Slowly heat the beverage, gently stirring with a wooden spoon from time to time. Watch the surface of the liquid closely. Your goal is to bring it to the point where it is very hot and steam begins to rise from it, but BEFORE it starts to boil. Boiling could cause the spices to become bitter and the beverage to lose some of its delicate aroma.

This is the most important moment! The key to success is patience and temperature control. As soon as you see the first small bubbles appearing at the edges of the pot, immediately reduce the heat to the minimum.
4

When the mulled wine is hot, reduce the heat to the absolute minimum, so that the drink only gently 'flickers' but does not boil. Cover the pot with a lid, leaving a small gap, and let it steep for about 15-20 minutes. This time will allow the spices to release their full essential oils and flavors, which will infuse into the apple juice.

Lifting the lid prevents boiling over and allows for a slight evaporation of water, which will gently concentrate the flavor of the mulled wine. A wonderful, spicy aroma will start to fill your kitchen!
5

After the brewing time is up, remove the pot from the heat. Taste the drink with a teaspoon (be careful, it's hot!). If you find it not sweet enough, now is the time to add honey. Add one tablespoon at a time, stirring until completely dissolved and tasting after each addition to achieve your perfect level of sweetness. The mulled wine is ready to serve. Using a ladle, pour the hot drink into mugs or thick glass cups. Place a slice of orange and one of the spices from the pot in each vessel for decoration.

Ingredients: wildflower honey
It's best to serve the mulled wine immediately when it's hot. You can strain it through a sieve if you prefer a clear drink, but leaving the spices in looks more rustic and impressive. Use mugs with handles or heatproof glasses to avoid burns.

Fun Fact

💡

The tradition of drinking spiced mulled beverages dates back to ancient Rome. The Romans heated wine with spices to protect themselves from the cold during their conquests. This custom spread throughout Europe and evolved over the centuries, leading to the creation of drinks such as German Glühwein, Scandinavian Glögg, and in Poland – grzaniec. Non-alcoholic versions, based on fruit juices, have become popular as a drink for the whole family.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve the mulled wine very hot, in thick-walled glasses or ceramic mugs that will keep the heat for a long time. Add a fresh slice of orange and a small sprig of rosemary to each serving to enhance the aroma. For adults, you can add 25-40 ml of rum, brandy, or Calvados to the finished drink poured into the mug to create an alcoholic version.

🥡 Storage

If you have leftover mulled wine, you can store it in the fridge in a sealed container (e.g., a jar) for up to 3 days. Before serving, strain out the spices and gently heat it in a pot, making sure not to bring it to a boil again. The flavor of the drink may become even deeper and more intense after storage.
