No brunch is complete without a special drink to sip and savor. This spiced mocktail is the perfect libation to warm up with on a cold wintery morning. If you are in the mood to imbibe, a splash of brandy or Cointreau would do nicely here.
Mull it over
Feel free to play with the mulling spices you use in this drink. Traditionally, mulled drinks contain a spice blend consisting of cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and nutmeg. Try adding some fennel seed, cardamom, or ginger if you’re feeling adventurous.
