Description

The perfect drink for chilly autumn and winter evenings, wrapping you in its spicy aroma and deep flavor. This non-alcoholic mulled drink is a wonderful alternative to traditional mulled wine, great for the whole family, including children. The base is natural, cloudy apple juice, which we slowly heat with a bouquet of aromatic spices: cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, and fresh ginger. The addition of fresh orange slices brings a citrus note, and the whole is gently sweetened with maple syrup. However, the true star of this drink is the velvety, fluffy orange foam made from egg white, which floats on the surface of the mulled drink, creating a stunning and delicious contrast. Served hot, garnished with cranberries and a sprig of rosemary, it not only tastes exquisite but also looks spectacular, bringing a magical, festive atmosphere.

Preparation steps

Apple Mulled Wine

1

Start by preparing the aromatic ingredients. Scrub the orange thoroughly under hot, running water. Dry it. Using a sharp knife, cut the orange in half. Slice one half into thin, even slices about 0.5 cm thick. Squeeze the juice from the other half into a small bowl and set aside for later - it will be needed for the foam. Slice fresh ginger into thin pieces (you don't need to peel it if the skin is clean).

Ingredients: Orange, Fresh ginger
Use a cutting board and a sharp chef's knife or a fruit knife. Thoroughly washing the oranges is crucial, as they will be heated with the peel.
2

In a large pot with a thick bottom (capacity of about 3 liters), place the prepared ingredients. Pour in the entire liter of apple juice. Add sliced orange, two cinnamon sticks, about 8-10 cloves, two star anise, and slices of fresh ginger to the juice.

Ingredients: Apple juice, Orange, Cinnamon stick, Cloves, Star anise, Fresh ginger
A pot with a thick bottom prevents the juice from burning and ensures even heat distribution, which is important for the slow release of flavors from the spices.
3

Place a pot on the stove over medium heat. Slowly heat the mixture until it becomes very hot and the first small bubbles appear on the surface, indicating that it is close to boiling. This is a crucial moment - do not let it boil! As soon as you notice those bubbles, immediately reduce the heat to the absolute minimum.

Cooking the drink would destroy the delicate aromas of the spices and could make them bitter. We just want to gently steep them, not boil them.
4

Cover the pot with a lid and let the drink gently 'infuse' on the lowest heat for about 15-20 minutes. During this time, the spices will release their essential oils and deep aroma, which will fill the entire kitchen. The drink will take on a beautiful golden-brown color.

You can gently stir the drink once or twice while heating it with a wooden spoon to better combine the flavors. Do not lift the lid too often to avoid losing precious aroma.
5

After 15-20 minutes, remove the pot from the heat. Add the maple syrup and mix thoroughly. Taste the drink and decide if it is sweet enough for you. If necessary, add more syrup. Then, using a fine sieve or a colander lined with cheesecloth, strain the hot drink into a pitcher or another clean container. This will remove all the spices and pieces of fruit, resulting in a clear liquid.

Ingredients: Maple syrup
Use a ladle to safely pour hot liquid. Straining is important for aesthetics and drinking comfort - no one wants to encounter a clove.

Orange Mousse

6

Prepare a perfectly clean and dry bowl, preferably glass or metal. Separate the egg white from the yolk, making sure that not a trace of yolk gets into the egg white. Even the smallest amount of fat (from the yolk or a dirty bowl) will prevent the egg whites from whipping.

Ingredients: Egg white
It's easiest to separate the egg white from the yolk when the egg is cold, straight from the fridge. However, egg whites whip better at room temperature, so after separating, leave them on the counter for about 15 minutes.
7

Add a pinch of salt to the bowl with the egg whites (it will help with whipping). Start whipping the egg whites with a hand mixer, beginning at the lowest speed. When the egg whites start to foam and turn white, increase the mixer speed to medium.

Ingredients: Egg white
Use a hand mixer with clean beaters to whip. You can also whip the egg whites by hand with a whisk, but it will take significantly more time and effort.
8

Continue beating at medium-high speed. When the foam thickens and starts to form what is known as 'soft peaks' (when the beaters are removed, the foam forms a peak that immediately falls), begin to add the powdered sugar. Add it gradually, one small teaspoon at a time, while mixing continuously. Once all the sugar has been added, slowly pour in the reserved orange juice in a thin stream.

Ingredients: Powdered sugar, Orange
Gradually adding sugar is key to the stability of the foam. Adding it too quickly can cause the foam to 'deflate' and not whip properly.
9

After adding the sugar and juice, increase the mixer speed to the highest setting and beat for another 1-2 minutes until the foam becomes very thick, shiny, and forms 'stiff peaks' (when the beaters are removed, the peak of the foam remains stiff and does not bend). The finished foam should be so stiff that when you turn the bowl upside down, it does not fall out.

Be careful not to 'overwhip' the foam. Whipping for too long can make it watery and lumpy. Stop the mixer as soon as it reaches the desired stiff consistency.

Serving

10

Make sure the strained mulled wine is still hot. If it has cooled down, reheat it gently over low heat. Pour the hot drink into four heatproof glasses or mugs, filling them about 3/4 full.

It's best to use thick glass mugs with a handle, so you can comfortably hold the hot drink and admire its color and layers.
11

Carefully place 2-3 large tablespoons of freshly prepared orange foam on top of each drink. The foam should float on the surface. Additionally, for decoration and flavor, you can garnish the top with a few fresh or frozen cranberries and a small sprig of rosemary. Serve immediately.

Ingredients: Fresh cranberry, Sprig of rosemary
Gently apply the foam so it doesn't mix with the drink. Decorative elements add not only appearance but also aroma, especially rosemary, which releases its scent when in contact with heat.

Fun Fact

💡

Mulled drinks, or heated beverages with spices, have their roots in ancient Rome. The Romans heated wine to protect themselves from the cold, adding spices not only for flavor but also for their medicinal properties. This tradition spread throughout Europe and evolved into numerous regional variations, including non-alcoholic versions based on fruit juices.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve in thick glass mugs with a handle or in ceramic mugs to keep the heat longer. You can add a fresh slice of orange to each mug. It's best to add the foam just before serving to prevent it from collapsing. For adults, you can add 25 ml of dark rum or amaretto liqueur per serving to the finished drink (after straining).

🥡 Storage

Mulled wine (without foam) can be stored in the refrigerator in a closed container for up to 3 days. Before serving, simply warm it gently over low heat, without bringing it to a boil. The foam should always be prepared fresh, just before serving, as it will settle and become liquid over time.
