In the cold winter season, hot drinks give us warm and cosy moments. Christmas tea, punch and mulled wine additionally warm the Advent season from the inside and taste delicately spicy, whether with or without alcohol.
You can enjoy a hot mulled wine not only at the Christmas market, but also relatively easily and quickly at home. Here I present a variation that uses less red wine because it is mixed with juice. I also use cardamom instead of the typical cloves and experiment with a slightly different flavour. Other juices can be used instead of apple juice if you like. Freshly squeezed orange juice, for example, goes very well and adds a fresh note. And for those who do not want to drink alcohol, the red wine can also be replaced entirely by grape juice.
Have fun trying it out and looking forward to Christmas!
