Vegan Mulled Wine Recipe 🍷

red wine

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic red wine

💰Cheaper: grape juice

Grape juice provides a similar flavor profile without alcohol.

maple syrup

🥗Healthier: agave syrup

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Brown sugar is a cost-effective sweetener with a similar taste.

Cut one orange in half and reserve half for garnish.

Pierce the orange half with about 10 whole cloves and slice into rounds.

Add 3/4 cup water and 1/4 cup cane sugar to a medium pot and bring to a low boil for a couple of minutes until the sugar dissolves.

Reduce the heat to a simmer and add 1/2 cup orange juice, 2 cinnamon sticks, 2 star anise, and the orange rounds pierced with cloves.

Cook for about a minute to combine the flavors.

Reduce the heat to a very gentle simmer and add 750 milliliters of red wine, ensuring it never boils.

Heat the drink through for 30 minutes, keeping an eye on it to prevent boiling.

Transfer the mulled wine to a slow cooker to keep warm if entertaining, or make the recipe in a slow cooker by heating all ingredients for 1-2 hours and then switching to keep warm.
