A clean eating and paleo friendly homemade mulled syrup and mulled wine recipe, made with coconut sugar.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"mulled<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You know Christmas<\/strong> is on the way when you start smelling mulled wine<\/strong> everywhere. This is without doubt my favourite smell of the festive period! I have been known to even buy mulled wine scented candles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s recipe I’m sharing is for homemade mulled syrup<\/strong>. Those sachets of mulled spices are so convenient but I promise once you start making your own syrup you will never go back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus it makes your house smell amazing, so no need for those scented candles!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Clean Eating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To keep this recipe in line with my clean eating<\/strong> I decided to use coconut sugar<\/strong> instead of regular sugar. I was a little nervous about how it would turn out but I think the result is really good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The coconut sugar gives the syrup a beautiful rich dark brown colour but there is no obvious taste of coconut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to use regular sugar you absolutely can but just keep in mind that if you use white sugar the colour of the syrup will be a lot lighter. Brown sugar should make it a little darker though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making The Mulled Wine Syrup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This recipe is not set in stone! So if there is a particular spice or fruit that you enjoy in your mulled syrup then go ahead and add it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the syrup is cooking, continuously taste it and add some more of the ingredients if you think it needs the flavour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thickness of the syrup can also be altered depending on how long you cook it for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I kept it on a high simmer for 20 minutes which gave me 500ml of more of a runny syrup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you prefer it thicker, simply simmer for a bit longer. However bear in mind that as it thickens the liquid reduces so you will get less volume at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clean<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The mulled syrup can be used in both alcoholic<\/strong> and non alcoholic<\/strong> drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously you add it to red wine to make mulled wine but you can also add it to warmed apple juice to make a delicious Christmas drink for non drinkers or designated drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
