Mock Mulled Wine
An alcohol-free low FODMAP mulled wine made with cranberry juice, orange slices and lots of festive spices. It will make your kitchen smell like Christmas!
Ingredients
- 2 cups cranberry juice
- 1 clementine or orange
- 1/2 teaspoon all spice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/16 teaspoon ground cloves (or two cloves)
- 1 piece star anise
- 1 cinnamon stick (or more for garnish)
Instructions
- Wash your clementine/orange and slice it.
- Pour the cranberry juice into a small saucepan. Add in three slices of orange and all of the spices. Heat on low for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and add more spices as desired.
- Pour the mock mulled wine through a strainer into a large container or pitcher. This will remove the orange slices, star anise and cinnamon stick.
- Pour into two mugs. Garnish with extra slices of oranges and/or cinnamon sticks.
Notes
- Cranberry juice is low FODMAP at 1 cup. However, read the ingredients of your cranberry juice carefully. Many cranberry juices have other high FODMAP juices added (e.g., apple or cherry) or have high FODMAP sweeteners such as fructose or glucose-fructose. One example of a low FODMAP cranberry juice available in Canada is Ocean Spray's Original Cranberry Juice Cocktail.
- Wine is low FODMAP. However, alcohol can be a gut irritant and is a common IBS symptom trigger. More information about IBS triggers...
- As you sip your mock mulled wine some of the spices will settle at the bottom of your mug. I recommend not drinking the dregs as they will taste very spicy.
