This winter-inspired drink will keep you cozy in the holiday spirit!! Sometimes, you want the taste and smell of the holiday season without extra added booze.
Gluhwein’s history (mulled wine) returns to the Romans, who enjoyed it heated with fragrant spices! It has become popular during the cooler winter, especially in Germany and many European countries.
My version of this fabulous drink combines tart cherry and pomegranate juices instead of traditional dry red wine! Check out this spicy, fragrant, and comforting drink….Happy Holidays!!
Cost: $3
Ingredients
- 4 cups tart cherry juice
- 2 cups pomegranate juice
- 1 large orange, sliced thick
- 5 cloves
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- 2 star anise
- 2 cardamom pods
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 tsp freshly sliced ginger
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
Instructions
- In a medium pot, combine the juice with orange slices and all spices. Bring this mixture to a boil. Turn off the heat and stir the sugar when it starts to boil.
- Allow Gluhwein to sit on a stove for 30 min, covered. It will absorb the spices and flavors better.
- Serve warm and enjoy the holiday season!
