There's something truly magical about a pot of mulled wine simmering away on the stove, especially during chilly evenings.

I remember the first time I made this for my friends at a winter gathering; we all wrapped our hands around warm mugs, savoring the flavors and sharing stories.

This recipe is all about embracing the season and nourishing your spirit – it’s simple, yet so comforting.

Plus, I love that it’s completely plant-based, making it a guilt-free indulgence for everyone to enjoy.

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

When choosing your red wine, look for one that’s vegan-friendly. Some brands use animal-derived fining agents, so I love brands that are explicitly labeled as vegan. And feel free to adjust the sweetness with the maple syrup – you know your taste best!

Tips & Notes

  • I like to keep some extra spices on hand to sprinkle in just before serving, depending on how spicy I'm feeling that day.
  • If you want a non-alcoholic version, you can use grape juice or a non-alcoholic red wine.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes, I’ll add a splash of cranberry juice for a tart twist.
  • You could also experiment with different fruits like apple slices or pomegranate seeds.

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Just reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave when you’re ready for another cozy cup!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

Absolutely! Just make it ahead and reheat gently before serving. It can even sit in the fridge for a couple of days.
