Exact quantities, then the method.
Iced Winter Glühwein sounds like a contradiction, but a chilled mulled fruit tea over ice with sliced orange really works, especially around New Year when you want the spice without a hot drink. It's caffeine and alcohol free, and a punch-bowl version drinks like a sangria.

It uses Teapigs Winter Glühwein, a caffeine-free fruit and spice infusion. Ten minutes plus chilling.
You'll need
- 4 Teapigs Winter Glühwein tea temples
- 500ml water at a full rolling boil
- 500ml chilled cloudy apple juice
- 1 orange and 1 small apple, sliced
- 1 cinnamon stick
- Ice, to serve
Method
- Steep the 4 temples in 500ml rolling boil water, covered, for 7 minutes; the long, hot steep gets the full spice and red fruit colour for a chilled batch.
- Lift the temples out and cool the brew to room temperature.
- In a jug combine the chilled mulled brew with the cold cloudy apple juice; the apple deepens the mulled wine character.
- Add the cinnamon stick and the sliced orange and apple; chill 30 minutes if you can, so the fruit infuses the cold mix.
- Pour over plenty of ice; ladle in slices of fruit with each glass.
- Caffeine and alcohol free, so children and drivers can drink the same glass; for adults, add 50ml red wine or spiced rum per glass.
