Mulled Juice

• Nothing says cosy more than a warming mug of mulled wine during winter. Traditionally, mulled drinks contain lots of sugar. Our healthy alternative is sweetened with fruit and stevia. We also used fruit juice instead of wine to make it suitable for children and designated drivers! This recipe makes a hearty two litres worth of juice – perfect for serving a crowd.
