Mulled Wine (Non-Alcoholic!)

A refreshing and tangy mulled wine with all the taste but without the woozy head of its alcoholic equivalent. 

Ingredients

• 1 large orange
• 1 small orange
• ½ lemon
• 8 cloves
• 6 fluid ounces (175 ml) Belvoir Spiced Winter Berries Cordial
• 10 fluid ounces (300 ml) freshly squeezed orange juice
• ½ tablespoon molasses 
• 4 tablespoon coconut cane sugar
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 2 star anise
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger

Method

1. Begin by cutting the orange into quarters and then slice the quarters again.
2. Halve the lemon and then slice into quarters.
3. Stud the small orange with the cloves, then put all the ingredients into a large saucepan and add 1¾ pints (1 litre) of cold water.
4. Stir together and simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavours to infuse.
5. Taste before serving and add more molasses if needed.
6. Ladle into mugs or heatproof glasses, remembering to remove the cinnamon stick and star anise.

This great recipe came from Delia Smith's Happy Christmas Book.
