This Non Alcoholic Mulled Wine is the perfect festive drink to warm up the holiday season. It is easy to make, can be made on the stove top or in a slow cooker, and is made with alcohol free spirits.
To a large Dutch oven, add non alcoholic wine, alcohol removed bourbon whiskey, orange juice, maple syrup, half of the orange slices, fresh cranberries, cinnamon sticks, star anise, and cloves. Stir to combine.
Heat the mixture over medium-high until it begins to boil.
Immediately reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for 5 to 10 minutes (5 minutes for a mildly spiced mulled wine, and 10 minutes for a spicier mulled wine).
Remove from heat and add the remaining orange slices.
