ABOUT Mulled Wine RECIPE

Mulled wine is a beverage of European origins usually made with red wine along with various mulling spices. It is served hot or warm. It is a traditional drink during winter, especially around Christmas.

Ingredients Serving: 6

125 gms Castor sugar
2 oranges, slice one, juice one and spice one
1 lemon, freshly juiced
150 ml water
6 cardamom pods
Nutmeg, freshly grated
5 cm piece of fresh ginger
Cinnamon sticks as per choice
4 tbsp brandy or cointreau
2 bottles red wine
12 cloves
1 1/2 tbsp honey
1 whole orange, washed and dried with cloves studding it
2 star anise

Instructions

Cut the orange into quarters then into slices. Push cloves into the orange. This turns it into a spiced orange.
Cut the lemon in half, then into quarters.
Pour the two bottles of red wine into the large saucepan. Crush the cardamom pods and add them in.
Add the water, cinnamon sticks, brandy, sugar, lemon and oranges. Peel the ginger and cut into slices and add this to the concoction.
Grate fresh nutmeg into the liquid. Add the orange and lemon juices.
Over a medium heat, stir the mulling wine to dissolve the sugar. Once dissolved, turn the heat down and let simmer for half an hour.
Taste the flavours. If it needs more spices, add. Otherwise, it's ready for serving. Just add in the honey.
Pour into glasses. Decorate with one stick of cinnamon per glass, a star anise and some sliced spiced orange.
