Rich says “Nowadays, people are more far more conscientious about what they’re putting into their bodies so I think it’s only right to give the same importance and sense of purpose to non-alcoholic drinks as alcoholic ones. This replicates all the mulled wine flavours that you find at festive season.”
This is a great non-alcoholic syrup to add to hot wine, a seasonal Martinez or an alternative drink. Or, should you wish, simply add it to your favourite seasonal soda for a refreshing non-alcoholic spritz.
