Mulled Apple Juice Mocktail

This cozy mulled apple juice is a warm and comforting drink infused with cinnamon, cloves, and star anise — a perfect non-alcoholic option for chilly fall and winter days.

2 cinnamon sticks
4 whole cloves
2 star anise
Peel of 1 orange
1-2 tablespoons honey (optional)

Instructions

Combine apple juice, cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, and orange peel in a saucepan.
Simmer gently over low heat for 10-15 minutes.
Remove from heat and strain out the spices and peel.
Stir in honey if desired.
Serve warm in mugs.

Tips

Add fresh ginger slices for extra warmth and spice.
Use unfiltered apple cider for a richer flavor.
For festive occasions, garnish with a cinnamon stick or orange slice.
