Description

An aromatic, warming drink that is the essence of autumn-winter comfort. This is a non-alcoholic version of traditional mulled wine, based on naturally cloudy apple juice, slowly heated with a bouquet of spicy herbs and fresh spices. The deep, sweet flavor of apples is complemented by the citrus note of fresh orange, all enveloped in the warmth of cinnamon, cloves, and star anise. An unexpected but perfectly complementary addition is a sprig of fresh rosemary, which brings a subtle, forest aroma, making the drink incredibly intriguing. Visually, it presents beautifully – it has a lovely amber color, and served in glass mugs with a slice of orange and a green sprig of rosemary, it becomes a decoration for any table. Perfect for chilly evenings, gatherings with friends, or as a welcome drink at a holiday party.

Preparation steps

1

Start by preparing the flavoring ingredients. Wash and scrub the orange thoroughly under warm, running water. Using a vegetable peeler, remove 2-3 long strips of just the orange peel, trying to avoid the white, bitter part (albedo). Then cut the orange in half. Squeeze the juice from one half into a small bowl. Slice the other half into thin rounds for decoration. If you are using optional ginger, cut a piece the size of your thumb, peel it, and slice it into 2-3 thin rounds.

Ingredients: Orange, Fresh ginger
Using a vegetable peeler is the best way to get thin strips of peel without the albedo. If you don't have a citrus juicer, you can squeeze the juice manually by inserting a fork into the flesh and twisting it to release more juice.
2

Choose a medium-sized pot, preferably with a capacity of about 3 liters. Pour the entire liter of apple juice into it. Add all the prepared spices and flavors to the juice: two cinnamon sticks, five cloves, two star anise, the previously prepared strips of orange peel, and the squeezed juice. Finally, add two sprigs of fresh rosemary. If you opted for the version with ginger, also add its slices.

Ingredients: Sok jabłkowy naturalnie mętny, Cinnamon stick, Cloves, Star anise, Orange, Fresh rosemary, Fresh ginger
A pot with a thick bottom works best, as it distributes heat evenly and minimizes the risk of burning the sugars contained in the juice at the bottom.
3

Place a pot on the stove over medium heat. Slowly heat the mixture until it is very hot, but do not bring it to a boil. Watch the surface of the liquid – as soon as you notice small bubbles and rising steam, immediately reduce the heat to the minimum. Cover the pot with a lid and let the drink gently 'infuse' for about 15-20 minutes. This process will allow all the flavors from the spices to slowly release into the juice.

This is the most important step! Do not allow the mulled wine to boil. Boiling will cause the most valuable essential oils from the spices to evaporate, and the drink will lose its depth of flavor. Patient, slow heating is the key to success.
4

After 15-20 minutes, turn off the heat. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, carefully remove the larger ingredients from the pot: cinnamon sticks, star anise, rosemary sprigs, and orange peel. To make the drink perfectly clear, strain it through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher or another clean pot. This will help you get rid of the cloves and smaller particles. Taste the drink. If it's not sweet enough for you, now is the perfect time to add honey (or maple syrup). Stir gently until the sweetener is completely dissolved.

Ingredients: wildflower honey
Remember to add honey to hot, but not boiling liquid. A temperature above 60°C destroys its valuable enzymes and health properties. Using a strainer is an optional step, but highly recommended for achieving an elegant, clear drink.
5

Pour the hot, aromatic mulled wine into the prepared mugs or heatproof glasses. Garnish each serving with a fresh slice of orange that you set aside earlier. For an enhanced visual effect and aroma, you can add a small, fresh sprig of rosemary to each glass. Serve immediately while the drink is hot and exuding its wonderful fragrance.

Ingredients: Orange, Fresh rosemary
The drink looks best in thick, transparent mugs with a handle, which showcase its color and decorations. Make sure the vessels are heat-resistant to avoid cracking.

Fun Fact

💡

The tradition of drinking mulled beverages dates back to Roman times, when wine was heated with spices to protect against the cold and enhance its flavor. Mulled juices, like this apple one, are a non-alcoholic and popular alternative, drawing from this rich history and perfectly fitting the atmosphere of cool autumn-winter evenings.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve in transparent mugs with handles to beautifully showcase the color of the drink and the toppings. For an adult version, you can add 25-40 ml of dark rum or brandy to each serving. Mulled wine pairs wonderfully with spiced cookies, apple pie, or gingerbread.

🥡 Storage

The remaining drink can be stored in the refrigerator in a closed pitcher or bottle for up to 3 days. Before serving, simply warm it gently over low heat, without bringing it to a boil. Remember to store it without fruit decorations, which should be added fresh just before serving.
