Mulled Winter Punch from Belvoir Fruit Farms — Faith’s Daily Find 12.24.14
Mulled Winter Punch from Belvoir Fruit Farms
• £2.46 to $15
This sweet and spicy mulled punch is a welcome nonalcoholic alternative to cocktails and ciders. It’s made with a rich blend of fruit, including blackcurrant, which gives it a wine-like tannic body. And while it’s a great non-alcoholic drink, it’s also very good when mixed with warmed red wine. This and other Belvoir products seem easy enough to find in the UK, but they’re more expensive and rarer in the States; I’ve found this at Terrain.
