There’s something about the taste of cinnamon and cloves that makes you want to snuggle up in front of the fireplace and wait for Santa to arrive. The kids might not be able to try it, but you can try making a non-alcoholic version with fruit juice instead of wine.

The garnishes are optional, but they’re highly recommended. Adding orange slices, cinnamon sticks and star anise will give your drink a fun, festive appearance that’s perfect for Instagram. Plus, you can eat the orange slices to enjoy the delicious taste of fresh citrus infused with mulled wine.
