    "content_text": "This is alcohol-free mulled wine in a mug: a deep, fruity, spiced cup brewed long and hot so the cinnamon, clove and red fruit all come through, with no alcohol and no caffeine. Teapigs Winter Gl\u00fchwein is a fruit-and-spice infusion that does most of the work; a slice of orange and a long steep turn it into something that really drinks like the real thing.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk.

Canonical: https://teas.co.uk/recipes/fruit-tea/alcohol-free-mulled-wine-in-a-mug/The trick is the long, covered steep. Fruit and spice infusions cannot over-brew, so give it the full six minutes, which is what makes it taste of mulled wine rather than fruit water.",
