A firm favourite christmas drink has to be mulled wine. Its Infused with the christmasy winter spices and it ensures to keep you warm during this winter period. Today I will sharing my recipe. For me this was the first time I made it and I think it turned out very well. If you do not drink alcohol you can substitute the wine with equal amounts of cranberry and apple juice. Right then, on to the recipe!
Ingredients :
- One bottle of wine
- 150g brown sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 5 cloves
- 4 cardamon pods
- 2 star anise
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 orange - peel and juice
- 1 lemon - peel
- 1 lime - peel
- small piece of ginger
1) In a pan add the sugar, lemon, lime and orange peels along with the orange juice. Warm mixture on a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.
2) Add the cinnamon stick, cloves, cardamon, star anise and nutmeg, along with quarter of the wine. Also add the ginger but be sure to cut into it so the flavours can be released. Bring this to a boil to form and syrup.
3) Turn down the heat add the remaining wine and bring to a simmer. Do not boil because all the alcohol content will disappear and we don't want that! Simmer for 2 minutes, turn off and cover with a lid. Let it sit for a hour, so everything infuses.
4) After the hour you can sieve the bits out and warm up without boiling and serve!
