How to make mulled wine without using wine?
Mulled wine is a type of spiced wine. The spices vary according to recipe, but typically include whole cloves, cinnamon sticks, star anise, and fresh ginger. The wine is heated in a pot or slow cooker and sometimes sugar is added. Mulled wine is popular in colder countries as a way to get warm and it is often served around Christmas time.
If you want to make mulled wine without using wine, there are a few options. You could use a non-alcoholic wine, like Fre Brut sparkling cider, or a alcohol-free red grape juice. You could also use fruit juices, like apple or cranberry juice, or teas like chai or Earl Grey. Simply heat up your chosen beverage in a pot or slow cooker with the spices, and add sugar to taste.
How to make mulled wine without cloves?
Mulled wines are typically made with whole cloves, but if you don’t have any on hand (or if you’re out of them), you can still make a delicious mulled wine without them. Here’s how:
First, heat your wine in a pot on the stove. You can use any type of red wine for this, but a fruity wine like merlot or cabernet Sauvignon works well.
Once the wine is heated, add in your other mulling spices. These can include cinnamon sticks, orange peel, star anise, and nutmeg.
Allow the mulled wine to simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until it is nice and hot.
Serve in mugs with a slice of orange or lemon for garnish. Enjoy!
