Description

You can make mulled wine with red grape juice, but it's unlikely you'll find a box of commercial juice without sugar. The amount of sugar is excessive, and the benefits of the product are reduced to zero. Therefore, I prefer to use natural, freshly squeezed pomegranate juice.

Ingredients

Pomegranate juice - 1 qt
Water - 8 fl oz
Oranges - 1 piece
Cinnamon sticks - 2 pieces
Cloves - 10 pieces
Black peppercorns - 6 pieces
Star anise - 2 pieces
Bay leaves - 3 pieces

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Pour the pomegranate juice and water into a pot and place it over high heat.

Step 2

Zest the orange and squeeze the juice. You can use the whole peel, but it may add excessive bitterness to the drink.

Step 3

Add all the ingredients to the pot.

Step 4

As soon as the liquid comes to a boil, remove from heat, cover with a lid, and let it steep for 30–60 minutes. Afterward, strain and reheat if necessary.
