Christmas is definitely one of those times you don’t want to miss out on all the party favourites if you’re not drinking. Mulled wine fills the house with a festive scent and this non-alcoholic version is deliciously sweet and spicy.

Garnish with cranberries and cinnamon sticks and serve in Moscow mule copper mugs.

Ingredients

1ltr red grape juice

2 cinnamon sticks

1 star anise

3 cloves

1 lemon, sliced

Fresh cranberries and cinnamon sticks, to serve

Method

Add all of the ingredients, except for the cranberries and additional cinnamon sticks, to a pan and bring to a simmer. Just before the mixture begins to boil take off the heat and leave to infuse for 30mins.
