Description

An aromatic and warming drink, perfect for chilly autumn and winter evenings. This is a non-alcoholic version of the classic mulled wine, based on naturally cloudy apple juice, which is slowly heated with a wealth of spicy flavors. The sweetness of apples and honey is perfectly balanced with the citrus note of fresh orange and the surprising, slightly resinous aroma of rosemary. Cinnamon sticks, cloves, and star anise not only add depth of flavor but also look beautiful in the glass. The mulled drink has a beautiful golden color and fills the whole house with the scent of the holidays. It is a drink that brings generations together – safe for children, and for adults, it can serve as an excellent base to enhance with a splash of rum. Served hot in your favorite mug, it becomes a synonym for home warmth and relaxation.

Preparation steps

Preparation of ingredients

1

Start by thoroughly preparing the orange. Wash it under hot, running water, using a vegetable brush to remove wax and dirt. Cut the orange in half. Squeeze the juice from one half directly into a large pot. Slice the other half into thin, even slices about 0.5 cm thick. If you are using ginger, cut off a piece about 3 cm long, peel it with a small knife or teaspoon, and then slice it thinly.

Ingredients: Orange, Fresh ginger
Use a pot with a capacity of at least 2.5-3 liters, so that all ingredients fit comfortably and nothing overflows. Thoroughly washing the oranges is crucial, as their peel will be heated in the drink.

Combining and heating

2

Pour the freshly squeezed orange juice into the pot and add the entire liter of apple juice. Then add all the spices: two cinnamon sticks, five cloves, two star anise, and two sprigs of fresh rosemary. If you are using it, also add the ginger slices. Gently stir everything with a large spoon. Place the pot on the stove over medium heat.

Ingredients: Sok jabłkowy naturalnie mętny, Cinnamon stick, Cloves, Star anise, Fresh rosemary, Fresh ginger
Add the spices whole. This way, the drink will remain clear, and after cooking, they will be easy to strain. Do not break the cinnamon sticks; they will release their aroma whole.

Cooking on low heat

3

Heat the mixture until it becomes very hot and the first bubbles appear at the edges of the pot – this is a sign that it is close to boiling. Immediately reduce the burner to the lowest setting. The drink should only gently steam, but not boil. Cover the pot with a lid, leaving a small gap, and let it 'brew' like this for about 20 minutes. During this time, the spices will release their essential oils and aromas.

This is the most important step! Absolutely do not bring the mulled wine to a boil. Boiling would destroy the delicate aromas of the juice and spices, and could also make the drink bitter. Patience is the key to deep flavor.

Adding sweetness

4

After 20 minutes of gentle heating, remove the pot from the heat. Let it sit for a minute to cool slightly. Now add two tablespoons of honey or maple syrup. Stir slowly and thoroughly until the sweetener is completely dissolved. Taste the drink with a small spoon (be careful, it's hot!) and decide if it's sweet enough for you. If you prefer sweeter drinks, add another tablespoon.

Ingredients: wildflower honey
Adding honey to hot, but not boiling, liquid helps preserve its valuable health properties. Always taste the drink before adding more sugar, as apple juices have varying levels of sweetness.

Serving

5

Prepare heat-resistant thick glass mugs or cups. Using a ladle, carefully pour the hot drink into the vessels. You can use a small strainer to filter out the spices, or pour carefully, leaving them at the bottom of the pot. Place one of the previously prepared slices of fresh orange in each mug. For decoration and additional aroma, you can add a small fresh sprig of rosemary. Serve immediately while hot.

Ingredients: Orange, Fresh rosemary
Use mugs with handles to avoid burns. For a more impressive look, you can stick a few extra cloves into the orange slices meant for decoration.

Fun Fact

💡

The tradition of drinking mulled beverages dates back to ancient Rome, where wine was heated with spices to protect against the cold. Non-alcoholic versions, such as mulled fruit juices, gained popularity in the 20th century as a healthier and family-friendly alternative.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve the drink very hot, in thick glass mugs or ceramic cups that retain heat well. Add a fresh slice of orange and a sprig of rosemary to each serving. For adults, you can enhance the drink by adding 25 ml of dark rum or brandy to each serving just before serving.

🥡 Storage

Mulled wine can be stored in the refrigerator in a closed container (e.g., a jar) for up to 3 days. Before serving, it should be gently heated over low heat, without bringing it to a boil. The flavor of the drink will become even deeper and more complex after storage.
