How to make my moreish alcohol-free Mulled Wine!
This week I wanted to introduce you to another of the recipes from my trusty Ask Charlie Christmas Planner!
This recipe is for the designated drivers and the non-drinkers out there who still want to drink something utterly delicious this Christmas season and enjoy the warming taste of traditional Mulled Wine. Obviously it makes a great beverage for the children too!
The recipe in my planner calls for sugar and honey, but a few of you have asked if I can make it just a little more healthy. The one I share with you here uses agave in their place and tastes equally as good.
You will need:
175ml Belvoir Mulled Wine Punch
300ml freshly squeezed orange juice
1 litre of water
1 orange - sliced
1 lemon - sliced
1 cinnamon stick
2 x star anise
1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground nutmeg
Handful of cloves
1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger (you could use fresh here if you wanted)
2 tablespoons agave syrup
Method:
Pop everything into a large saucepan and give a good stir.
Leave to simmer on the hob very gently for around 15 minutes, to give the flavours time to infuse.
And it’s that simple! Strain into a punch bowl and enjoy!
