Wrap your hands around a mug of this Mulled Berry & Beetroot Warmer – a vibrant, heart-healthy spin on traditional mulled wine.

Naturally sweet and beautifully spiced, it’s the perfect way to toast to good health on a chilly winter’s day.

Mulled Berry & Beetroot Warmer

Method

  1. Add the berries, beetroot juice, water, orange slices, and all the spices to a saucepan. Bring gently to a simmer.
  2. Reduce the heat and let it simmer very gently for 15–20 minutes. Stir occasionally and slightly crush some of the berries with the back of a spoon to release their juices.
  3. Add the maple syrup or honey and strain through a fine sieve into mugs. Garnish with a slice of orange and an additional cinnamon stick. Serve hot.

    Ingredients

  • 250g frozen mixed berries (e.g. blueberries, blackberries, cherries, raspberries)
  • 250ml beetroot juice (unsweetened)
  • 600ml water
  • 1 small orange, sliced
  • 1 cinnamon stick (plus extra for serving)
  • 3 whole cloves
  • 1 star anise
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 2 tsp maple syrup or honey
