Non-alcoholic red, apple cider, orange and whole spices, warmed gently on the stove. The house smells like the holidays and nobody has to drive carefully.

Rocks
Garnish
Orange slice and a cinnamon stick
Time
20 min

Ingredients

  • 1 bottleGiesen 0% Premium Red
  • 16 ozFresh apple cider
  • 1Orange, sliced into rounds

  • 4Whole cloves
  • 2Star anise
  • 2 tbspHoney or maple syrup, to taste

Method

  1. Put everything in a saucepan over low heat.
  2. Warm gently for 15 minutes without letting it boil, which dulls the fruit.
  3. Taste and add more honey if you like it sweeter.
  4. Ladle into heatproof glasses or mugs, leaving the whole spices behind, and garnish with an orange slice. Keep it warm on the lowest heat or in a slow cooker for a party.
