Fruit slices for mulled wine, punch & tea

Especially in the winter months, when it is cold, dark, and uncomfortable in Germany, additional sun and vitamins are important and beneficial. Order our delicious fruit slices here as an addition to your tea or mulled wine and bring a little Mediterranean sunshine into your home with dried lemon and orange from Greece.

When thinking of Greek foods, olives probably come to mind first – yet citrus fruits hold no less importance in Greece. Due to the excellent climatic conditions, lemons, oranges, tangerines, clementines, and bergamots primarily grow here. The delicious, colorful fruit is very popular everywhere and serves as a wonderful source of vitamin C in the cold season. Furthermore, sour is known to make you happy – ideal if you're experiencing the winter blues. For this, not only fresh fruits need to be consumed; in dried form, they are just as valuable. If you want to spice up your hot drink, e.g., tea or mulled wine, with a fruity-sour addition, we at ARISTOS have just the right thing for you in our assortment: fruit slices of sun-dried lemon and orange, each available in a 100g bag with a zip-lock closure.

With our fruit slices, we have tried to capture and preserve the sun of Greece for you, so that you can enjoy it during the cold months with a hot tea, punch, or mulled wine. For this, the fruits were sliced and slowly sun-dried, so that the aroma and taste are perfectly preserved. Additives such as sugar or preservatives are completely avoided during both drying and storage. We promise: With our fruit slices of lemon and orange, every cup will be a true delight! If you want a snack to go with your tea and co. for the complete Mediterranean holiday feeling in winter, we highly recommend baguette and our tapenade, a vegan Greek spread made from Kalamata olives.

Would you like to make delicious mulled wine with Greek lemon and orange yourself? We'll show you the best way to do it:

1. First, you will of course need the necessary ingredients – for one liter of red wine, we recommend 2–3 of our fruit slices as well as 2 juicy oranges (squeezed), 1–2 cinnamon sticks, 7 cloves, 1 star anise, and approx. 50 g of sugar, preferably rock candy.
2. Heat the wine together with the spices, the freshly squeezed orange juice, and the lemon and orange slices at a low temperature in a pot, but please do not let it boil. Add the sugar and heat briefly again until the mulled wine reaches the desired drinking temperature.
3. Then strain out the fruit slices and spices and enjoy your mulled wine!

By the way: In addition to the fruit slices, you can, of course, also buy Greek red wine and fresh, extremely aromatic oranges from Greece at ARISTOS.
