Equipment

  • Medium saucepan: to heat and mix all the yummy ingredients.
  • Wooden spoon or whisk: for stirring and mixing everything together.
  • Measuring cups and spoons to get the right amounts
  • Strainer: in case I want a smooth drink without pulp or spices.
  • Mugs or heatproof glasses: to serve the warm mocktail in style.

Ingredients

Here's what I'll need for this tasty mocktail:

  • 2 cups of fresh orange juice
  • 1 ½ cups of water
  • 3 tablespoons of honey or more, if you prefer it sweeter
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 2 whole cloves
  • 1 orange sliced
  • A pinch of nutmeg

These ingredients come together to create a cozy, warm flavor that's perfect for a cold night. 🍂

Instructions

Here’s how I make my Warm Cinnamon Orange Delight:

  • Combine the orange juice and water in a medium saucepan.
  • Add the honey, cinnamon sticks, and cloves. Stir well to mix everything.
  • Heat the mixture over medium heat while occasionally stirring.
  • Once warm, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Add sliced orange and a pinch of nutmeg.
  • Simmer for 5 more minutes. Then, remove from heat.
  • Strain the mocktail to remove the spices, if desired.

Serve warm in mugs or glasses. Enjoy! 🍹

    Notes

    A few things I've learned while making this mocktail:
    Adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if needed.
    Feel free to experiment with spices. Adding a touch of ginger can add some extra warmth.
    Straining is optional. If you like a bit more texture, leave out this step.
    Perfect for gatherings; it makes the whole kitchen smell amazing! Invite friends over and surprise them with this delicious drink. 😊
