After spending a week in bed, recovering from the flu and a chest infection, I’ve been searching for ways to boost my immune system this winter.
There are many ways to keep colds at bay but my favourite remedy is this Mulled Cranberry, Apple & Promegranate drink.
Not only is it full of immune-boosting vitamins and anti-oxidants but it is so bold and delicious, making it a wonderful non-alcoholic alternative to mulled wine during the festive season.
It’s also a very comforting drink to sip on when you’re already feeling under the weather, the warm liquid helps sooth your throat and keep you hydrated.

Hello,
This looks great, I just have a quick question, which may make me seem like a simpleton, but i was wondering can it be made, bottled and then re-heated?
Many and more thanks
Hi David, sorry I didn’t see your comment before. I’m not sure actually… I would say you could bottle it and keep it in the fridge for a week but I wouldn’t think any longer would stay fresh. Let me know if you try it!
Thanks for the reply, Aimee. I did make it, bottle it, and chilled it (but only for about 24 hours). It went down a storm at my family’s bonfire night. My only regret is that I didn’t make a bigger batch as people loved it. They drank the pot dry. They want me to make it for every wintertime get together. So thank you for sharing! It is a keeper for sure.
Well that makes me so happy to hear! So glad you all enjoyed it :-) I’ll be making it a lot this winter, for sure. Thanks for letting me know!
Hai Emma, Thanx for the great recipe! You said 3 cloves, but 3 cloves of what?
Clove the spice :-) These: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/glossary/clove
This sounds so delicious Aimee! I’ve never been a fan of mulled wine but know I’d love this non-alcoholic alternative.
Hope you’re feeling better.
This is beautiful! I love mulled juices, this one looks immense.
Sounds warming and delicious Aimee….. a perfect non-alcoholic alternative. Love the colour too. Great photos as always! Hope you are feeling better x
Hi Aimee,

Hi Besma, thank you so much! Just off to check out your blog now… :-)
Thank you :) I am having non alcoholic drinking guests coming over soon, this is the perfect drink for them :)
I love this recipe – I might try with apple juice and fresh home made cranberry juice for an SCD version on Christmas Day!
This mulled juice is definitely going on my holiday to make list. It looks and sounds so delicious and comforting!
