Keencuisinier Non alcoholic Mulled Wine Recipe

Christmas is incomplete without visiting Xmas markets & grabbing a massive mug of mulled wine. Certainly all this didn’t happen this year thanks to COVID. To lift up our spirits we stirred up some non-alcoholic mulled wine to bring in the Christmas eve. Traditionally mulled wine also known as Gluehwein is made by mixing red wine and orange juice but since I am breastfeeding we made a non-alcoholic version using organic grape & cranberry juices, spiced with cinnamon, cloves & star anise, sweetened up with a drizzle of honey. While this was warming up on a low flame my home smelled so good! I spent my Christmas with a warm mug of this by my fireplace in the company of loved ones. If you are still wondering how to ring in 2021, make yourself a mug of the mulled wine and I promise it will make you feel warm & fuzzy.
