Mulled Cranberry-Orange Mocktail
Enjoy this refreshing Mulled Cranberry-Orange Mocktail that's perfect for the holidays! This non-alcoholic drink combines tart cranberries, sweet oranges, and fennel. Serve it warm or cold, with an option to add a bubbly twist.
Ingredients
- 340 g fresh cranberries
- 2 large Mandarin oranges about 240 g
- 2 tsp dried fennel seeds
- ¼ cup maple syrup
Instructions
-
Add the cranberries, oranges and 2 cups of water to a blender and blend well.
-
Add the blended cranberries and the fennel to a saucepot and cook over medium-low* heat for 40-50 minutes or until warm and fragrant. Stir regularly to ensure the mixture heats evenly.
-
Strain the hot mixture through a strainer.
-
Mix in 1 cup of water (cold or hot depending on how you plan to enjoy this) and the maple syrup. Garnish with orange slices and whole, fresh cranberries if you don’t mind a bit of pucker!
-
* I use a low temperature to preserve as much of the vitamin C as possible.
Recipe Notes
If serving this cranberry cocktail cold, I love to top it with sparkling water or champagne.
