.......mulled wine??

I love love love it and although I dont drink I do love making mulled wine on the run up to and over christmas so wanted an alcohol free recipe for this year with being pregnant!

So heres one of the recipe Ive found if anyone else fancies it made from scratch......

A carton of cranberry juice
Rind of 2 oranges
6 cloves (optional)
A handful of dried cranberries
1 tsp of Vanilla extract (not flavouring)
4 tbsp of clear honey
2 Cinnamon sticks
Ground nutmeg


Heat the cranberry juice . Stir in the honey and vanilla extract. Add the rind, cloves, cinnamon sticks and dried cranberries (and nutmeg if you're using it). Serve warm.

Ive also made some using alcohol free red wine and used the Swhartz Mulled Wine sachets and filled it with Orange wedges and I have to say....YUM I prefer this recipe tbh but thought I would try the other one too and compare!

Enjoy xxx

Ingredients

• Bottle of red wine
• 60g/2oz demerara sugar

• grated nutmeg
• 1 orange, sliced
• 60ml/2fl oz brandy

1. Put the wine in a saucepan with the orange, sugar and the spices.
2. Heat gently until the sugar has dissolved. Taste to see if you want the wine sweeter, and add more sugar to taste.
3. Off the heat, stir in brandy
4. Strain into heatproof glasses and serve.

I also make it with the sachets when making the alcoholic version and its just a tummy
