Alcohol Free Winter Warmers No 2

Designated driver or simply want to give the grog a miss then we have some ideas for you.  Simple and easy to achieve and you do not have to produce gallons at once! Evening or morning, Christmas or not these drinks are lovely.




Glockenspiel - non Alcoholic Glühwein
Serves 4-6

Study pan
4-6 small mugs or heat proof glasses
1 Carton of good quality cranberry juice - avoid cranberry drink you want pure juice
1/2 carton of quality fresh orange juice
6 Slices of orange
1 Sachet of mulled wine spices - on the spice rack in supermarkets you can boxes of sachets containing ready mixed spices (you can add two if you want it super spicy)
3 Cinnamon sticks - halved to create 6 short sticks
Sweeten to taste with either honey, sugar, or spoonful’s of redcurrant jelly.

Add all ingredients excluding the sweetener of your choice, warm through but do not boil, add slowly your sweetener a little at a time till you are happy.  Simmer never boil and serve ensuring each cup gets a slice of orange and a cinnamon stick piece but never the sachet.  

Keeps well, can be made up and heated later, keep the heat low if keeping warm.  Works on a slow cooker if you want to have it somewhere else than where your cooker is, likewise in flasks. 

ENJOY!
