Ribena Winter Spice

[Mark Parrott]

Found this in the supermarket. No added sugar & you dilute it with boiling water. Its like a non alcoholic mulled wine.🙂

Thanks for the heads up

Ooo I like the sound of that Mark. I'd put a drop of port in it! 🙂

 

[Manda1]

Tastes yum x but still prefer the alcoholic version 😉

It is rather delicious. Gonna stock up when I go shopping later.

 

[Ljc]

Thanks I'll give it a try.

 

[Amigo]

Is it available in most of the supermarkets?

 

[Stitch147]

I know Tesco definitely do it.

Same here. Its lovely of an evening when its getting a bit chilly (its also very nice if you put a bit of dark spiced rum in it!)

dark spiced rum

Bad memories for me - I drank the best part of a bottle of dark rum when I was 18 and haven't touched it since, I felt so bad afterwards 😱 Just realised that was 40 years ago - how did that happen? 😱

I will have to hunt out some of this Ribena though, forgot when I was in Tescos this morning 🙄 I've always drunk Ribena as a hot drink 🙂

Even better is mulled Vimto. Just use one of those mulling-spice teabags in a jug of Sugar-free Vimto.

Going shopping tomorrow, I'll keep an eye out for this. It sounds nice.

 

[Hazel]

Yea it's a wee change

As it is no added sugar, does this mean there is no sugar, it sounds very delicious

Only a little bit present in the fruit juice. 0.7 carbs per 100ml, so 0.35 carbs per 50 ml recommended 1:4 dilution rate to produce a 250ml drink. Not going to ruin the blood sugars, I wouldn't have thought. Sounds delicious, might have to try some myself.

I plan to add a measure of brandy to the hot drink before bed
