Notes
You can adapt this recipe to taste by adding cloves in a tea pod or adding additional fruit.
Make it ahead – Simply mull for several hours ahead of time, and then place lid on container and store in the fridge. Add it back to the stove for about half an hour over low heat. All the flavor and no last minute effort!
For another version, try it frozen! Follow direction below to freeze, and then serve as a non-alcoholic mulled wine slushee!
How to Serve a Crowd
I like to make our mulled wine on the stove top and let it simmer, enjoying the fragrance as it warms all afternoon and evening. For me, that’s part of the joy of serving a cozy recipe like this one!
I love to use my Staub cast iron pieces to create this alcohol free mulled wine recipe at home.
You can also serve from your crockpot, of course.
A heated kettle also serves well for guests.
How to Store
Let your alcohol free mulled wine cool completely, then seal in an airtight container and store in refrigerator for up to three days.To freeze, pour your ingredients into containers with an airtight lid and freeze. Be sure to leave a couple inches of extra space at the top of your container to prevent overflow.TO REHEAT: Slowly warm your non alcoholic mulled wine in your pot on the stovetop over low heat, or add leftovers into your crockpot and reheat on low heat until warmed through.
