Description

Aromatic and warming drink, perfect for chilly autumn and winter evenings. Spiced Apple Mulled Wine is a non-alcoholic version of popular European mulled drinks, inspired by traditions such as Polish grzaniec and Scandinavian glögg. Its base is naturally cloudy apple juice, which, when heated with a whole range of spices – cinnamon, cloves, and star anise – takes on a deep, multi-dimensional flavor. Freshness and a slightly citrus note are brought by juicy orange, while a hint of spiciness is added by fresh ginger. A unique element of this recipe is the addition of fresh rosemary, whose resinous, forest aroma beautifully complements the sweetness of apples and honey, creating an unparalleled composition. The drink has a beautiful amber color and is served hot, garnished with a slice of orange and a sprig of rosemary, making it not only a feast for the palate but also for the eyes. It is perfect as a drink for gatherings with family and friends, during Christmas, or as a way to relax after a long day.

Preparation steps

Ingredient Preparation

1

Start by thoroughly preparing the fruits and spices. Wash the orange very carefully in warm water, using a vegetable brush to remove wax and impurities from its skin. After washing, dry it with a paper towel. Using a sharp knife, slice half of the orange into thin rounds (about 0.5 cm thick), and squeeze the juice from the other half into a small bowl. Peel the ginger root using a small knife or the edge of a teaspoon (the skin comes off easily) and slice it into thin pieces.

Ingredients: Orange, Fresh ginger
Use a large cutting board to have enough space. If you don't have a brush, you can scald the orange with boiling water. Thorough washing is key, as the peel will be heated in the drink and release its aromas.

Heating

2

In a large pot (with a capacity of at least 2 liters), pour in the entire liter of apple juice. Add the prepared orange slices, the juice squeezed from the other half, ginger slices, cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, and one sprig of rosemary. Gently stir everything with a wooden spoon.

Ingredients: Sok jabłkowy naturalnie mętny, Orange, Fresh ginger, Laski cynamonu, Goździki (całe), Star anise, Fresh rosemary
A pot with a thick bottom works best, as it evenly distributes heat and prevents burning. At this stage, do not add honey or alcohol yet.

Infusing flavors

3

Place a pot on the stove over medium heat. Slowly heat the drink until it becomes very hot, but do not bring it to a boil. When the first small bubbles start to appear on the surface, immediately reduce the heat to the lowest setting. Cover the pot with a lid and let the drink gently 'steep' for about 15-20 minutes. During this time, the spices and fruits will release all their aromas, and the kitchen will be filled with a wonderful, festive scent.

A key mistake is boiling the mulled wine. Boiling will cause the delicate aromas to evaporate, and the spices may become bitter. Watch the drink – it should only gently 'wink', not bubble violently.

Adding sweetness and strength

4

After 15-20 minutes of steeping, remove the pot from the heat. Now is the right time to add sweetness. Pour in the honey and stir gently until it completely dissolves. Taste the drink, and if you prefer a sweeter flavor, add another tablespoon of honey. If you are opting for the alcoholic version, pour in the dark rum or brandy now and mix again.

Ingredients: wildflower honey, Dark rum or brandy
Always add honey after removing the drink from the heat. High temperatures destroy its valuable health properties. We also add alcohol at the end so that it does not evaporate during heating.

Serving

5

Prepare mugs or glasses made of thick glass. Using a ladle, pour the hot drink through a fine mesh strainer directly into the containers. Straining will remove small pieces of spices and ginger, ensuring the mulled wine is clear. Garnish each serving with a fresh slice of orange (you can stick a few cloves into it for decoration) and the remaining sprig of fresh rosemary. Serve immediately while hot.

Ingredients: Orange, Fresh rosemary
Use mugs with handles or ceramic cups to avoid burns. A strainer is important for aesthetics and drinking comfort. If you want, you can leave a cinnamon stick or a star anise in the cup for decoration.

Fun Fact

💡

The tradition of drinking hot, flavored beverages dates back to ancient Rome, where wine was heated with spices to protect against the cold. In the Middle Ages, it was believed that spices had medicinal properties, which further increased the popularity of mulled drinks throughout Europe.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve the mulled wine in thick glass mugs or stoneware that retain heat for a long time. You can add a fresh slice of orange or apple to each serving. It pairs perfectly with spiced cookies, such as gingerbread or buttery shortbread cookies.

🥡 Storage

If you have leftover mulled wine, you can store it in the fridge in a closed container (e.g., a jar) for up to 3 days. Before serving, reheat it gently over low heat, making sure not to bring it to a boil. The flavor after reheating may be even deeper, as the ingredients have had more time to meld together.
